Pero ella, en verdad, es diosa, y de un dios había nacido; mas nosotros somos mortales, y de hombres procedemos; y para un mortal, el obtener suerte semejante a la de los dioses es grande gloria.

Ah! now myself am carried past the bound
Of law, nor can I check the rising tear,
835
When I behold Antigone even here
Touching the quiet bourne where all must rest.

Ja, sie war Göttin, göttlichen Stamms, 1
Wir Sterbliche nur und von Menschen gezeugt:
Doch groß ist der Ruhm, mit Göttergeschlecht
Das Geschick im Tode zu theilen.

A goddess she, and from a goddess sprung ;
We are but mortal, and of mortals born :
835
To meet the fate of gods thus in thy life,
A.nd in thy death, oh ! 'tis a glorious doom !

Yet she was a goddess, thou knowest, and born of gods; we are mortals, and of mortal race. But ’tis great renown for a woman who hath perished that she should have shared the doom of the godlike, in her life, and afterward in death.

She was divine, and sprung from race divine;
But we are mortal, and of mortals born.

For thee how glorious then to share like fate
With those of heav'nly race, and as the gods
Revered, like them to live, like them to die!

834. mvp-comment-480-1 It is doubtful whether θειογενής οι θεογεννής (= θεογέννητος) should be read for the unmetrical θεογενής.

836. mvp-comment-481-1 Of the two readings, φθιμένα and φθιμένῳ, both of which are given by L, and were known to the Scholiast, the feminine is more likely to be due to a corrector.

837. mvp-comment-482-1 The words ζῶσαν καὶ ἔπειτα θανοῦσαν have little point, and being omitted by Aldus (as in A), have never been restored except by Seyffert, who reads μέγα κἀκοῦσαι in l. 836. Those who omit 837, invert the preceding lines for the sake of the paroemiac, and read καίτοι φθιμένῳ τοῖς ἰσοθέοις | ἔγκληρα λαχεῖν μέγ᾽ ἀκοῦσαι. For ἀκοῦσαι, to have said of one, cp. Phil. 1074, ἀκούσομαι μὲν ὡς ἔφυν οἴκτου πλέως.
