Sea como te place, Creonte, hijo de Meneceo, respecto de los amigos y enemigos de esta ciudad; pues en tu derecho estás de aplicar absolutamente la ley en lo que toca a los muertos y a todos cuantos vivimos.

Eadem, quae tibi, nobis etiam placent; Menoecei gnate, Creon, circa civitatis huius hostem, et circa amicum:
lege vero uti qualibet penes te estin mortuos, et in viventes, quotquot sumus.

Son of Menoeceus, we have heard thy mind
Toward him who loves, and him who hates our city.
And sure, ’tis thine to enforce what law thou wilt
Both on the dead and all of us who live.

Dir, Sohn Menökeus', Kreon, ist es so genehm
Mit dieses Landes Gegner und mit seinem Freund.
Denn jede Sazung anzuordnen steht dir frei,
So für die Todten, wie für uns, die Lebenden.

At length our empire, shook by civil broils.
The gods to peace and safety have restored ;
Wherefore, my friends, you had our late request
That you should meet us here ; for well I know
Your firm allegiance to great Laius, next
To (Edipus, and his unhappy sons ;
These by each other's hand untimely slain,
To me the sceptre doth of right descend,
As next in blood. Never can man be know,
His mind, his will, his passions ne'er appear
Till power and office call them forth ; for me,
'Tis my firm thought, and I have held it ever,
That he who rules and doth not follow that
Which wisdom counsels, but, restrained by fear,
Shuts up his lips, must be the worst of men ;
Nor do I deem him worthy who prefers
A friend, how dear soever, to his country.
Should I behold — witness all-seeing Jove ! —
This city wronged, I never would be silent,
Never would make the foe of Thebes my friend,
For on her safety must depend our own j
And if she flourish we can never want
Assistance or support. Thus would I act,
And therefore have I sent my edict forth
Touching the sons of OEdipus, commanding
That they should bury him who nobly fought
And died for Thebes, the good Eteocles,
Gracing his memory with each honour due
To the illustrious dead. For Polynices,
Abandoned exile, for a brother's blood
Thirsting insatiate — he who would in flames
Have wasted all, his country and his gods.
And made you slaves — I have decreed he lie
Unburied, his vile carcase to the birds
And hungry dogs a prey. There let him rot
Inglorious — 'tis my will ; for ne'er from me
Shall vice inherit virtue's due reward,
But him alone who is a friend to Thebes,
Living or dead shall Creon reverence still.
Choe. Son of Menseceus, 'twas thy great behest
Thus to reward them both ; thine is the power
O'er all supreme, the living and the dead.
I have appointed some to watch the body.

Such is thy pleasure, Creon, son of Menoeceus, touching this city’s foe, and its friend; and thou hast power, I ween, to take what order thou wilt, both for the dead, and for all us who live.

To all the temples now advance,
Devote the night to festive dance;
The allusion to a battle between the dragon and the eagle has here a singular
propriety on account of the dragon race of Thebes.
Alike be honour'd, let him live or die.

35. mvp-comment-25-1 ὃς ἄν Essay on Language § 22. p. 35, 2. §39. p. 72.

35. mvp-comment-25-2 τούτων τι For this idiomatic use of τι, cp. Thuc. 5. 13, δρᾶν τι ὧν ἐκεῖνος ἐπενόει.

36. mvp-comment-26-1 δημόλευστον By stoning of the people. Essay on Language p. 98, a, line 15.

38. mvp-comment-27-1 For εὐγενής in the ethical sense, cp. Eur. El. 363, οὔτοι τό γ' ἦθος δυσγενές παρέξομαι. And for the genitive ἐσθλῶν, cp. Αj. 763, ἄνους καλῶς λέγοντος εὑρέθη πατρός.

39-40. mvp-comment-28-1 Alas for thy rash spirit! What help, if things be at this pass, can I afford, either to undo what is done, or to confirm it?' ταλαῖφρον points to the daring spirit of Antigone and to the tone of her last words. For λύουσα, cp. Aesch. S. c. Т. 270, λύουσα πολεμίων φόβον. The choice lies between ἢ 'φάπτουσα and εἴθ' ἅπτουσα. The implied negative is in favour of εἴθ' ἅπτουσα, which comes near the first hand of L. Cp. О. Т. 517, λόγοισιν εἴτ᾿ ἔργοισιν, where, however, ei precedes. But εἴτε is slightly too emphatic, and ἢ ᾿φάπτουσα is an early reading. The expression is proverbial. Cp. Aj. 1317.

42. mvp-comment-29-1 ποῦ γνώμης ποτ' εἶ; Although ποῖ with the verb of motion is not unlikely (cp. El. 922, ὅποι γνώμης φέρει), the future tense does not suit the passage. Hence the reading of Par. A. (with εἶ from εἰμί) is preferable. Cp. Ε1. 390, ποῦ ποτ' εἶ φρενῶν; but see Eurip. Iph. A. 480, for el from εἶμι with present meaning.

43. mvp-comment-30-1 Antigone's first intention is to lift the body with Ismene's help and give it proper burial. Being unable to do this unaided, she sprinkles the dust. Cp. El. 938-1057.

43. mvp-comment-30-2 ξὺν τῇδε .. χερί Aiding this hand, i. e. taking part in my labour. Cp. Ο. Τ. 811 ἐκ τῆσδε χειρός. Essay on Language § 22. p. 34.
