Commentary

Commentary (R. C. Jebb) (OCR draft) (Commentary (R. C. Jebb))

mvp-comment-797-1 μόρων ὁ κάλλιστ’ ἔχων 1

mvp-comment-797-2 Both these difficulties (which to me seem insuperable) are removed by reading

μόρων ὁ κάλλιστ’ ἔχων
, the best of fates. That
ἔχων
could have been changed to
ἐμῶν
, either by conjecture or by accident, is shown by v. 575, where at the end of the verse L has the probably true
ἐμοί
, while other MSS. have
ἔφυ
. (If
κύνες
is right in 467, and
ξίφει
in 1301, these, too, are instances of final words corrupted.) A question of punctuation remains. The comma might follow either
ἔχων
or
ἐμοί
. I prefer the latter. Cp. Ai. 394
ἰὼ σκότος, ἐμὸν φάος, | ἔρεβος ὦ φαεννότατον, ὡς ἐμοί
.

1329. mvp-comment-737-1 κάλλιστα The adverb is emphatic, and has the force of a predicate. Let that last doom appear, which of all coming upon me has the highest glory of bringing me the end of days. Not one doom but many have fallen upon Creon. But of all that can come upon him, death is the lightest and the best.
