Aeschylus Supplices 524

Theodore Alois Buckley (Translator)

King of kings, most blest of the blest, and most perfect might of the perfect, blessed Jove, be persuaded, and may it come to pass 3 —avert from thy race the insolence of men, justly hating it, and plunge into the purple deep the black-benched pest 4 .

Might of the mighty, king of kings,
605
Supremely bleſt amidſt the bleſt above,
Enthron'd in glory, righteous Jove,
From whom perfection to the perfect ſprings,
Hear us, O hear our fond request,
To pity melt each gen'rous breast;
610
View this bold outrage with indignant eye,
And shield us from the injury:
O'ertake their proud bark on the purple main,
Sink it with all its ſable train;

Re dei re, beatissimo

inabissa il flagel negro del remo.

O King of Kings, among the blest
Thou highest and thou happiest,
Listen and grant our prayer,
And, deeply loathing, thrust
Away from us the young men's lust,
580
And deeply drown
In azure waters, down and ever down,
Benches and rowers dark,
The fatal and perfidious bark!

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. Dialog des Königs, des Koryphaios und des Danaos (447-532): Der König offenbart seinen Entschluß die Entscheidung dem Volke anheim- zugeben.
