I will be gone. ’Twere shame to me, if known,
To chide when I have power to crush by force.

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

Mehrt ihn die stets wachsende Sage.
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.

ξύμπλουν
(n.). In Aesch. Ag. 842 the king says of Odysseus,
ζευχθεὶς ἕτοιμος ἦν ἐμοὶ σειραφόρος

1328. mvp-comment-850-1 φίλῳ may be taken in three ways, (1) agreeing with the subject of εἰπόντι, 'May a friend say the truth without offence?' or (2) agreeing with the remote object of εἰπόντι, 'May one speak the truth to a friend without offence?' or (3) agreeing with σοί in l. 1329, 'May one speak the truth and still work with you as my friend?' The choice lies between (1) and (2): and the comparison of l. 1331, φίλον σ᾽ ἐγώ, κ.τ.λ., inclines the balance in favour of (1).

1329. mvp-comment-851-1 Although ξυνηρεμεῖν, the reading of L pr. is not a vox nihili, —see L. and S., ξυνηρετεῖν, following the analogy of ὑπηρετεῖν, is much more probable, and the letter erased above the μ in L (see v. rr.) was probably T, so that ξυνηρετμεῖν has arisen from a confusion of the two readings. It has been tolerated even by some modern editors, though less supported by analogy than either ξυνηρετεῖν or ξυνηρεμεῖν.
