Im Grabe bergen, was du schnell erwiedern willst.
Denn einen Feind erblick' ich, und er kommt vielleicht,
Um unsrer Noth zu spotten, als ein arger Mann.

1048. mvp-comment-674-1 συγκομίζειν] Το 'bring home'; a metaphor from the harvest-field, the dead body being 'like a shock of corn.' Or, to speak more accurately, the same general meaning of the word applies to both cases, without our necessarily supposing any conscious metaphor. Cp. Eur. H. F. 1422, ἀλλ᾽ ἐσκόμιζε τέκνα δυσκόμιστα γῇ.
