Ha, welchen Ruf offenbarst du, Frau, von dem grimmigen Mann,
Ha, schrecklich, unentrinnbar!
Ruchtbar gemacht von den Fürsten des Danaerheers,

Bang ahn' ich, bang, was mir herannaht! Vor den Augen Aller
Erschlägt ihn auch die wahnsinnige Hand, die eben
Mit bluttriefendem Stahle die Heerden mordet' und die Hirten.

And still reproachful, with delusive arts.
Though conquered, yet opposing. ^V^holesome laws
Will nought avail if those whom justice deems
Superior, to the vanquished must resign.
And first in virtue be the last in fame.
It must not be. Not always the huge size
1255
Of weighty limbs ensures the victory ;

Do not, O king of Sparta, from thy lips

1133. mvp-comment-729-1 Menelaus has sought to justify his action by applying to Ajax the word πολέμιος, which properly applies only to an enemy of the state. But he has not the courage to follow this up by showing that Ajax was a public enemy.
