Aeschylus Supplices 154

Theodore Alois Buckley (Translator)

But if not, a blackened sun-burnt 3 race to Zagreus 4 , the many-guest-receiving Jove of the dead will we approach with these suppliant boughs, dying by the noose, not having obtained [the favour] of the Olympian gods.

If not, this glowing train, that trace
From Heav'n's high king their highborn race,
Shall voluntary victims go
175
To th' allreceiving realms below;
To their dread Gods for refuge fly,
If Heav'n's high pow'rs their aid deny.

O, spènteci di laccio,
160
stringendo i rami supplici,
andrem, fosca progenie,
dal sole in bruno tinte,
al Nume che tutti ospita,
al Giove sotterraneo
165
che sui defunti vigila,
poi che ci avran gli Olimpî Dei respinte.
Ahimè, Giove, ahimè!, l'ira
dei Celesti contro lo, me pur flagella:
noto il geloso zelo
170
m'è di tua sposa, che sconvolge il cielo.
Ahi! da qual vento spira

Yet if this may not be,
We, the dark race sun-smitten, we
Will speed with suppliant wands
To Zeus who rules below, with hospitable hands
175
Who welcomes all the dead from all the lands:
Yea, by our own hands strangled, we will go,
Spurned by Olympian gods, unto the gods below!

Willst du nicht, so flich' ich
Dunkle sonnverbrannte Schaar
Zum Schattengott,
Der die Todten allzumal
Gastlich hegt im Erdenschooß,
140
Fliehe hin mit grünem Zweig,
Durch den Strang mich tödtend,
Weil Olymps Götter nicht mein Fleh'n erhört.

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. Dieser ist bedenklich wegen der schweren Folgen, welche die Zusage des Schutzes für sein Land haben kann. 3. Kommos (350-422): Fortsetzung der Bitte. 4. Chorikon (423-446), welches das Nachsinnen des Königs zu Gunsten der Da- naiden zu wenden sucht. 5. Dialog des Königs, des Koryphaios und des Danaos (447-532): Der König offenbart seinen Entschluß die Entscheidung dem Volke anheim- zugeben.
