¡Ay, cómo se mofan de mi! ¿Por qué, por los dioses patrios, no aguardáis aguardais a insultarme cuando me haya ido ya, y lo hacéis en mi presencia? ¡Oh ciudad! ¡Oh ricos hombres de la ciudad! ¡Oh dirceas fuentes y bosque sagrado de Tebas, la de hermosos carros! Os invoco para que todos a la vez atestigüeis cómo sin que me lloren los amigos, y por qué leyes, me llevan hacia las rocas amontonadas en forma de túmulo de inaudita sepultura. ¡Infortunada de mi, que estando entre los mortales no existo ya, y ni me hallo entre los vivos ni entre los muertos!

Hei mihi, derideor!
Quid me, per tutelares deos, non mortuam, sed luce fruentem adhuc, contumelia adficis? O urbs, o urbis opulenti cives! o Dircaei fontes, Thebaeque curruum agitatricis nemus, tamen vos simul testes habeo, quemadmodum ab amicis indelleta, quali lege ad carcerem defossum vado inauditi sepulcri. Heu miseram, cui nec cum hominibus, nec cum Manibus, consortio est, nec cum vis, nec cum peremtis.

O mockery of my woe!
I pray you by our fathers’ holy Fear,
840
Why must I hear
Your insults, while in life on earth I stand,
O ye that flow
In wealth, rich burghers of my bounteous land?
O fount of Dircè, and thou spacious grove,
845
Where Thebè’s chariots move!
Ye are my witness, though none else be nigh,
By what enormity of lawless doom,
Without one friendly sigh,
I go to the strong mound of yon strange tomb,—
850
All hapless, having neither part nor room
With those who live or those who die!

Weh, weh! Du lachst meiner! Götter meiner Väter,

Ch' ich in's Grab sank?

Männer, reich an Besizung!
Und du,
835
Dirka's Brunnquell, Lusthain du
Der wagenumrauschten Thebe!
Euch alle beschwör' ich, seid Zeugen,
Wie unbeweint von Freunden, kraft welches Spruchs,
Ins enge Grabgewölb' hinab der neuen Gruft ich steigen muß!

Ich Unselige, weh!
Bin fern von Menschen, fern von Todten,
Im Leben nicht heimisch noch im Tode!

Ahis I thou mockst me ! Why, whilst yet 1 Hve,
Wouldht thou afflict me with reproach Uke this /
O my dear country ! and my dearer friends
Its blest inhabitants, renowned Thebes!
And ye Dirca^an fountains ! you I call
845
To \ntness that I die by laws unjust,
To my deep prison unlamented go,
To my sad tomb — no fellow-sufferer there
To soothe my woes, the living, or the dead.

¡Ay! Se mofan de mí... En nombre del Cielo, ¿por qué me insultais? ¿Por qué me ultrajais antes de morir, cuando todavía no he desaparecido de la tierra? Patria mía, opulentos hijos de esta ciudad, fuentes dircéas, bosques sagrados de la belicosa Thebas, vosotros sois testigos del abandono en que me veo, y del cruel decreto por el que me lleyan á ser encerrada en una prisión para que me sirva de sepultura. —¡Misera de mil no voy á habitar ni con los vivos ni con los muertos.

Ah, I am mocked! In the name of our 840 fathers’ gods, can ye not wait till I am gone,—must ye taunt me to my face, O my city, and ye, her wealthy sons? Ah, fount of Dircé, and thou holy ground of Thebè whose chariots are many ; ye, at least, will bear me witness, in what sort, unwept of friends, and by what laws I pass to the rock-closed prison of my 850 strange tomb, ah me unhappy! who have no home on the earth or in the shades, no home with the living or with the dead. 3

Nay, do not mock me; by my country's gods
Insult me not ere I am sunk in death,
840
While yet I stand before your eyes. O Thebes,
And you, the splendid habitants of Thebes
With various treasures rich! Ye sacred founts
Of Dirce, and thou grove of Thebes, whose glades
Are open to the frequent-rolling cars!
845
You all can witness for me, how by friends
Unwept, and by what laws I go condemn'd
To the rude prison of the hollow rock,
Of this unwonted tomb. Unhappy me,
I have, or in my life, or in my death,
850
No dwelling with the living, or the dead!........

840. mvp-comment-483-1 *οὐλομέναν The conjecture of Martin. οἰχομέναν (Wunder) also deserves to be considered.

842. mvp-comment-484-1 She first turns from the elders to the city at large; and then, remembering how little sympathy she has had from man, she appeals, like Philoctetes (936 ff.), in a fresh outburst, to the familiar presences' of nature.

843. mvp-comment-485-1 πολυκτήμονες Thebes was proverbially a wealthy city.

844. mvp-comment-486-1 ἰώ Here she breaks into a louder cry.

845. mvp-comment-487-1 ἄλσος The open ground about the city. Cp. Εl. 5, τῆς οἰστροπλῆγος ἄλσος Ἰνάχου κόρης.

847. mvp-comment-488-1 οἷα, like ὀμοιοτάταν in 832, and λυγροτάταν in 823, is supplementary predicate, and equivalent to an adverb.

851. mvp-comment-489-1 Hermann (ed. 1839) was contented to read οὔτε βροτοῖσιν οὔτ᾽ ἐν νεκροῖσιν, but remarked that the long anacrusis of the second part of the line, οὔτ᾽ ἐν νεκροῖσιν = γάμων κυρήσας is very rare. Qu βροτοῖς, οὔτε τις ἐν νεκροίσιν? But the original line is probably lost.

852. mvp-comment-490-1 Advancing to the utmost verge of daring thou didst fall violently, my daughter, against the lofty throne of Right. ἐκτίνεισ Α.
