Oh that your minds to gentler thoughts were calm'd!

My soul can form no better wish for each.
1265

Teucer

Ah me, how soon the memory of the dead

Fades from the faithless mind, and is effaced,

Thee, Ajax, in his favour, e'en in things

To him of little import, since this man

No longer holds ! Yet oft hast thou exposed

Thy life for him with toil in bloody fields.
1270

But all these things are vanish'd, and have left

No trace behind. Thy tongue abounds with words,

Vain-talker! but is all remembrance lost?

Can'st thou forget, within your works enclosed,

When all was rout, confusion, and dismay,
1275

Alone he came, he saved you? When the flames

Blazed on your lofty decks, when o'er the trench

Hector had leap'd, and on your navy roll'd

The thunder of the war, who check'd his force?

Was not the glorious action his, who ne'er,

Thou say'st, advanced his foot? Did not for you
1280

His valour these heroic deeds achieve?

Nay more, 'gainst Hector shield to shield opposed

He stood in dreadful fight, by choice, not chance ;

No' coward lot into the 'midst he threw,

No clod of moisten'd earth; but with light bound
1285

What from the crested helmet first would leap.

These were his noble deeds: with him I stood,

This slave, from a barbaric mother born.

What was thy view in this unhappy taunt?

Fie! How doth gratitude when men are dead

Prove renegade and swiftly pass away!

This Agamemnon hath no slightest word

Of kind remembrance any more for thee,

Aias, who oftentimes for his behoof

Hast jeoparded thy life in labour of war.
1270

Now all is clean forgotten and out of mind.

Thou who hast multiplied words void of sense,

Hast thou no faintest memory of the time

When who but Aias came and rescued you

Already locked within the toils,—all lost,
1275

The rout began: when close abaft the ships

The torches flared, and o’er the bootless trench

Hector was bounding high to board our fleet?

Who stayed that onset? Was not Aias he?

Whom thou deny’st to have once set foot by thine.
1280

Find ye no merit there? And once again

When he met Hector singly, man to man,

Not by your bidding, but the lottery’s choice,

His lot, that skulked not low adown i’ the heap,

A moist earth-clod, but sure to spring in air,
1285

And first to clear the plumy helmet’s brim.

Yes, Aias was the man, and I too there

Kept rank, the ‘barbarous mother’s servile son.’

I pity thee the blindness of that word.

lerntet ihr doch beide weisen Sinnes sein!

Weh! Wie zerrinnt dem Todten doch bei Sterblichen

Der Dank so flüchtig und bewährt sich ungetreu,
1220

Wenn dieser Mann hier deiner auch in kurzem Wort

Nicht mehr gedenkt, mein Ajas, er, für den du oft

Dein Leben bietend mühevoll im Kampfe rangst!

Zerstoben, weggeworfen schwand dies Alles nun!

Du, der du jezt so vieles unnüz Eitle sprachst,
1225

Gedenkst du daran nimmermehr, wie dieser euch,

Als ihr im Wall des Lagers eingeschlossen wart

Und schon vernichtet alle nach verlorner Schlacht,

Allein erschien als Retter, da die Glut bereits

Auf hohen Ruderbänken um die Schiffe rings
1230

In Flammen aufschlug, und hindurch die Gräben schon

Sich Hektor hoch auf eure Schiffsverdecke schwang?

Wer wehrte dieses? That es nicht derselbe Mann,

Der, sagst du, nirgends dir gesellt zum Kampfe schritt?

Und dünkte solches, als er's that, euch nicht gerecht?
1235

Dann als mit Hektor er allein den Kampf bestand,¹

Vom Loos erkoren, nicht von euch dazu bestellt;

Da warf er nicht ein trügerisches Loos hinein,

Den feuchten Erdkloß, nein, ein Loos, das gleich zuerst

Aus buschigem Helme springen sollt' in leichtem Sprung.
1240

Er war es, der euch dieses that, und ich mit ihm,

Der Knecht, entsprossen aus der fremden Mutter Schooß.

Scene VII.

Come hither, boy, bend down and touch thy

father ;

There sit, and, liolding in thy hands this hair

And liers and thine, the suppHant's humble treasure,

Offer thy pious prayers for thy dead father :

If from yon hostile camp the foe should come
1275

'J'o drive thee hence, far from his native land,
1275

Whoe'er he be, unburied may he lie.
1275

From his whole lace uprooted, torn away,
1275

E'en as this hair which here I cut before thee ;

Oh ! guard it well, my child ; and you my friends.

Behave like men — assist, protect him now,

Till I return, and, spite of all our foes,

Perform the rites, niid raise a tomb to Ajax. [Eocif.

Tecjiessa, Eurysaces, Chorus.

When will the happy hour appear,

That comes to calm our every fear,

From endless toil to bring us sweet repose.

To bid our weary wanderings cease.

To fold us in the arms of peace.

And put the wished-for period to our woes 1

For since the day when first to Troy we came

Nought have we known but grief, reproach, and

shame.

Oh ! that the man, who erst inspired

With honud rage, our Grecians fired

To slaught'rous deeds, and taught them first to fight,

Ere he had learned the dreadful trade,
1280

Himself had mingled with the dead,
1280

Or scattered wide in air, or sunk in endless night !
1280

For oh ! from war unnumbered e\'ils flow,
1280

The unexhausted source of every human woe.

By war disturbed, the genial board

No longer will its sweets aflbrd ;

Their fragrant odoui's round my head

The verdant wreaths no longer spread ;

Nor music's charms my soul delight,

Nor love with rapture crowns the night ;

No love, alas ! for me, but grief and care ;

For when I think of Troy I still despair,

And wet with many a tear my wild dishevelled hair.

Nor nightly fear nor hostile dart;

But all our pleasures now are o'er,

Oh ! could I climb the woody steep

That hangs incumbent o'er the deep.

From Sunium's cliff by waves for ever beat.

Then should my eye the lovely prospect greet,

And smile on sacred Athens rising at my feet.

mvp-comment-756-2 (1) There is strong evidence that the term

ἑδώλια

was used in the 5th cent. B.C. to denote a raised deck, a quarter-deck, at the stern of the ship. This is clear in Her. 1. 24 : Arion asks leave,

στάντα ἐν τοῖσι ἑδωλίοισι ἀεῖσαι

: the officers of the ship consent, and are then said

ἀναχωρῆσαι ἐκ τῆς πρύμνης ἐς μέσην νέα

,— leaving Arion alone on the

ἑδώλια

. In Helen. 1571,

Ἑλένη καθέζετ’ ἐν μέσοις ἑδωλίοις

: which is clearly a place distinct from that where the rowers sat; of them it is said,

τοίχους δεξιοὺς λαιούς τ’ ἴσοι | ἀνὴρ παρ’ ἄνδρ’ ἕζοντο

. (For further evidence on this point, see Appendix.)

mvp-comment-757-2 Sophocles may have had some other source, epic or lyric. But it seems equally possible that he wrote from a general recollection of the Iliad, without caring whether he reproduced its details. Indeed, two verses of the Iliad might alone have sufficed to suggest the picture which he has drawn,—that which says of Ajax,

Τρῶας ἄμυνε νεῶν, ὅστις φέροι ἀκάματον πῦρ

(15. 731),—and the verse which describes Hector leading the Trojans from the Greek wall towards the ships,—

ᾗ ῥ) ὅ γ’ ὁ λυσσώδης φλογὶ εἴκελος ἡγεμονεύει

(13. 53).

mvp-comment-760-3 This combat between Hector and Ajax is told in Iliad 7. 38—312. Hector having challenged a Greek champion, nine Greek chiefs offered themselves; lots were cast, and the honour fell to Ajax. Hector and Ajax fought till nightfall, when they were parted by heralds, and exchanged gifts (1029 n.).

1266. mvp-comment-807-1 ὡς ταχεῖά τις] 'How swiftly, somehow!' For τις added to the supplementary predicate, cp. O. T. 618, ὅταν ταχύς τις οὐπιβουλεύων λάθρα | χωρῇ, and see Essay on L. § 22. p. 36, sub fin. Cp. also for the meaning of ταχεῖα, Pind. Pyth. 1. 161, ταχείας ἐλπίδας.

1267. mvp-comment-808-1 διαρρεῖ] ‘Melts away.' Cp. Trach. 698, ῥεῖ πᾶν ἄδηλον. Cp. Shak. Midsummer Night's Dream, 4.1, 'My love to Hermia, | Melted as doth the snow, seems to me now | As the remembrance of an idle gaud.' καὶ προδοῦσ᾽ ἁλίσκεται] 'And is found to turn traitor.' An idiomatic phrase, for which, cp. Ant. 46, οὐ γὰρ δὴ προδοῦσ᾽ ἁλώσομαι.

1268. mvp-comment-809-1 οὐδ᾽ ἐπὶ σμικρῶν λόγων] ‘Not even in the least degree.' Lit. either (1) 'On a slight account,' or (2) 'With a slight word.' For (1), cp. Plat. Rep. 7. 524 Ε, ὥσπερ ἐπὶ τοῦ δακτύλου ἐλέγομεν. And for (2), cp. O. C. 746, κἀπὶ προσπόλου μιᾶς | βιοστερῆ χωροῦντα.

1270. mvp-comment-810-1 τὴν σὴν προτείνων . . ψυχὴν δορί] 'Exposing thy life in war.' Perhaps αὐτοῦ should be resumed from οὗ. Cp. Il. 9. 322, αἰὲν ἐμὴν ψυχὴν παραβαλλόμενος πολεμίζειν.

1271. mvp-comment-811-1 οἴχεται . . ἐρριμμένα] 'Are cast away,' a periphrasis like οἴχεται θανών (Phil. 414). Compare especially Andoc. 19. 7, οὐκ ἔστιν . . ἔτι λοιπὸς τοῦ γένους τοῦ ἡμετέρου οὐδείς, ἀλλ᾽ οἴχεται πᾶν πρόρριζον.

1272. mvp-comment-812-1 κἀνόνητ᾽, although a possible reading, may be due to κἀνόητα above. 'Senseless' is more pointed here than 'profitless.'

1274. mvp-comment-813-1 ἑρκέων] Sc. ἔσω, implied in ἐγκεκλημένους. When the Greeks were driven within their lines, their own ramparts were like a trap in which they were caught.

1275. mvp-comment-814-1 ἐν τροπῇ δορός] ‘When the battle was already turned against you:' —when the rout had begun.

1276-1278. mvp-comment-815-1 ἀμφὶ.. φλέγοντος] ‘When around the ships the fire already blazed so as to scorch the quarter-decks.' The ships being fired from the stern, whatever was most combustible abaft each vessel would first catch fire. ἑδωλίοις] This is commonly explained to mean 'the rowers' benches,' in which case ἄκροισιν is difficult to explain. But several passages indicate that ἑδώλια was the name given to those places in the vessel, chiefly at the stern, where persons not engaged in working her might sit. See the gloss on this line in Pal. R. 34, σανιδώμασιν, —also the Scholiast on Lycophr. 296, quoted by Dindorf in Steph. Thes. s. v. ἐξ ἑδωλίων πηδῶντες] τῶν σανιδωμάτων καὶ καταστρωμάτων τῆς νεώς: Etym. Magn. p. 455, 4 (ibid.), τόπον τῆς νεὼς βάσιν ἔχοντα .. ὁ καὶ ἑδώλιόν φασιν: and cp. Eur. Hel. 1571, Ἑλένη καθέζετ᾽ ἐν μέσοις ἐδωλίοις, ib. 1602, 3, παρακέλευσμα δ᾽ ἦν | πρύμνηθεν Ἑλένης (had she left the midmost benches, no doubt finding them uncomfortable, for the stern?): also Hdt. 1. 211, στάντα ἐν τοῖσι ἑδωλίοισι (evidently a platform in a particular part of the ship). This agrees with other meanings of the word. ἄκροισι means the part of the ἑδώλια towards the extreme stern. Cp. Od. 9. 540, οἰήϊον ἄκρον ἱκέσθαι. The whole description is probably taken from an Αἴαντος ἀριστεία, differing in some particulars from the Iliad, as, for instance, in ignoring the part taken by Patroclus in the defence of the ships. Hence no attempt need be made to reconcile the picture of Hector rushing with high bounds to cross the trench and board the fleet, with the narrative in Il. 14. 15.

1281. mvp-comment-816-1 ὂν.. ποδί] 'Who, as thou sayest, on no occasion set his foot by thine.' What Agamemnon said, supr. 1237, was different from this; but Teucer speaks with the exaggeration of anger. Cp. Ant. 208, 485, and note. For the expression, cp. Shak. Julius Caesar, 1. 3, '... And I will set this foot of mine as far | As who goes farthest.'

1282. mvp-comment-817-1 'I wonder if in this you find a righteous act of Ajax'?' ὑμίν, not = εἰς ὑμᾶς, but a dative of reference in construction with the whole sentence.

1283. mvp-comment-818-1 χὤτ᾽ αὖθις] ὅτε resumes ἡνίκα, supr. 1273, without any precise antecedent, though ἆρ᾽ οὐκ ἐνδίκως ἔδρασεν; may be supplied from the preceding line. αὐτός]· 'By himself,' and not now in conjunction with the Atreidae.

1284. mvp-comment-819-1 κἀκέλευστος. See Il. 7. 164.

1284-1287. mvp-comment-820-1 The spirit of these lines agrees with Il. 7. 186-9, ἀλλ᾿ ὅτε δὴ τὸν ἴκανε, φέρων ἀν᾿ ὅμιλον ἁπάντη, | ὅς μιν ἐπιγράψας κυνέῃ βάλε, φαίδιμος Αἴας, | ἤτοι ὑπέσχεθε χεῖρ᾽ ὁ δ᾽ ἄρ᾽ ἔμβαλεν, ἄγχι παραστάς | γνῶ δὲ κλήρου σῆμα ἰδών, γήθησε δὲ θυμῷ.

1285. mvp-comment-821-1 'Not making his lot to sink into the hollow of the helmet, and to skulk there,' i. e. refuse to show itself when the helmet was shaken (as having crumbled away). δραπέτην contains a metaphor from a runaway slave eluding search, and also an allusion to the derivation from πίπτω. Sophocles, or the Cyclic poet before him, here assigns to Odysseus, or some other rival of Ajax, the action elsewhere attributed to Cresphontes at the division of the Peloponnese amongst the Heracleids.

1287. mvp-comment-822-1 κυνῆς] i. e. ἐκ κυνῆς. 'From the helmet.' Cp. especially O. T. 808, ὄχου, and note. ἄλμα κουφιεῖν] 'To spring lightly,' is an example of what in the Essay on L. § 17. p. 25 c, has been called the use of the cognate verb. Cp. Eur. El. 861, πήδημα κουφίζουσα: and, for the sense, Il. 7. 182, ἐκ δ᾽ ἔθορε κλῆρος κυνέης.

1288. mvp-comment-823-1 σὺν δ' ἐγὼ παρών] · 'And I too not far off.' Essay on L. § 18. § 40. p. 75. παρών implies that Teucer was faithful to his post. Cp. Phil. 379, οὐκ ἦσθ᾽ ἵν᾽ ἡμεῖς, ἀλλ᾽ ἀπῆσθ᾽, ἵν᾽ οὔ σ᾽ ἔδει. For Teucer's services, cp. Il. 15. 437, alib.
