Aeschylus Supplices 104

Theodore Alois Buckley (Translator)

And may his eye our wrongs ſurvey,
Mark'd by inſulting man his prey;
As each bold youth by paſſion fir'd
Againſt our boſom-peace conſpir'd,

And to deceit's ſmooth influence
Join'd rude and boiſterous violence:
An infant foreſt theſe, that ſhoot
Their wild growth from one parent root,
And o'er our freſh bloom ſtrive to ſpread

Their chearleſs and malignant ſhade.

E infitto reca il pungolo

Let Him look down on mortal wantonness!
Lo! how the youthful stock of Belus' line
Craves for me, uncontrolled—
125
With greed and madness bold—
Urged on by passion's shunless stress—
And, cheated, learns too late the prey has 'scaped their hold!

Voll Uebermuthes, jugendlich trost der Stamm, 1

Und von dem Stachel wilder Wuth
Ewig gepeitscht, zuleht die Schuld,
Bitter getäuscht, bereu'n wird.

erstes Epeisodion. 1. Szene (182—239): Danaos und der Koryphaios. Danaos kündigt das Nahen des Königs an und gibt seinen Töchtern Verhaltungsmaß- regeln. 2. Szene (240 - 349): Pelas- gos und die Vorigen. Die Danaiden erklären ihre Herkunft von Argos und erflehen als ungerecht Ver- folgte den Schutz des Argivischen Königs.

Chorikon (423-446), welches das Nachsinnen des Königs zu Gunsten der Da- naiden zu wenden sucht. 5.
