Therefore from our mouths shaded [by boughs] let the honoring prayer fly. Never let pestilence make empty the city of these men: nor let [discord 1
] make bloody the plain of the land with corses of the natives. And let the flower of youth be uncropped; nor let the paramour of Venus, man-destroying Mars mow the blossom.

(Plus calme.) Ils honorent des frères dans ces suppliants de Zeus très saint; et c'est pourquoi les autels seront purs, où ils
appelleront la faveur des dieux.
Ainsi donc qu'à l'ombre du pieux rameau nos lèvres donnent l'essor à des vœux épris de leur gloire. Que la peste jamais

Your ſacred ſpirit inſpires the free
730
To form the gen'rous, bold decree,
And man's rude force diſdain;
To cast on Heav'n's dread Lord their eye,
The terrors of his vengeance fly,
Nor ſcorn our female train :
735
He o'er the impious roof his thunders rolls, c
And aweful in his wrath appalls the guilty ſouls.

Su via, dai labbri nostri, all'ombra volino
delle supplici rame,
queste mie devotissime
preci. Non mai la fame
710
renda questa città deserta d'uomini,
né cittadina guerra
mai di caduti insanguini la terra.
Non mietuto rimanga il fior dei giovani:
né Marte, d'Afrodite
715
l'omicida amator, strappi il rigoglio
delle giovani vite.

Thus, through the boughs that shade our lips, fly forth in air,
Fly forth, O eager prayer!
May never pestilence efface
This city's race,
Nor be the land with corpses strewed,
720
Nor stained with civic blood!
The stem of youth, unpluckt, to manhood come,
Nor Ares rise from Aphrodité's bower,
The lord of death and bane, to waste our youthful flower.

Darum empor von laubschattender Lippe fromm
Schwebe, Gebet der Ehren!
Möge die Seuche niemals
Ihnen die Stadt veröden,
Nie mit gefall'ner Bürger Blut

Ungebrochen der Jugend
Blume blüh'n, Aphrodita's

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.

δεξάσθω :Poseidon hat ein An- recht auf Argos. Von einem Heiligtum des Poseidon mit dem Beinamen Προσκλύστιος berichtet Paus. II 22, 4 mit dem Zusatz: τῆς γὰρ χώρας τὸν Ποσειδῶνα ἐπικλύσαι τὴν πολλήν, ὅτι Ἥρας εἶναι καὶ οὐκ αὐτοῦ τὴν γῆν Ιναχος καὶ οἱ συνδικάσαντες ἔγνωσαν. Von einem Ort Τρίαινα in Argos weiß der Schol. zu Eur. Phoen. 187. Vgl. Einl. S. 3.
