de eo quod quis animo teneret vel sibi fingeret, de simulacro, spectro, quo nomine hic significatur praeco, qui abstractum ab aris virgines venit. Ad Minervae verba in Sophoclis Aiace v. 51.

Suppliant Maidens Perseus (Aeschylus, Volume 1. Smyth, Herbert Weir, translator. London; New York: William Heinemann; G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1922. (Modernized by Perseus.)) — 776-820 focus

Chorus

O land of hills, land of our righteous veneration, what is to be our lot? To what region in the Apian land are we to flee, if anywhere there be some dark hiding-place? Ah that I might become black smoke

that draws near to the clouds of Zeus; or, soaring aloft without wings, vanish out of sight like viewless dust and dissolve into nothingness!
780

784

Chorus

The evil is no longer escapable;

my heart is darkened and trembling; the look-out my father held has brought me ruin. I am undone with terror. Rather would I meet my doom in a noose
785

than suffer the embraces of a man I loathe. Death before that, with Hades for my lord and master!
790

792

Chorus

Ah that somewhere in the upper air I might find a seat against which the dank clouds turn into snow, or some bare, inaccessible crag,

beyond sight, brooding in solitude, beetling, vulture-haunted, to bear witness to my plunge into the depths before I am ever forced into a marriage that would pierce my heart!
795

800

Chorus

Thereafter I refuse not to become a booty for dogs and a banquet for the local birds; for death is freedom from misery-loving evils. Come death, death be my doom,
800

before the marriage-bed! How can I yet find some means of escape to deliver me from marriage?
805

808

Chorus

Shriek aloud, with a cry that reaches heaven, strains of supplication to the gods;

O father, give heed that they are somehow accomplished to my safety and tranquility. Behold deeds of violence with no kind glance in your just eyes!
810

Have respect for your suppliants, O Zeus, omnipotent upholder of the land!
815

817

Chorus

For the males of the race of Aegyptus , intolerable in their wantonness, chase after me,

a fugitive, with clamorous lewdness and seek to lay hold of me with violence. But yours alone is the beam of the balance, and without you what is accomplished for mortals?
820

The Suppliant Women. (OCR draft) Experimental (The Suppliant Women.. Theodore Alois Buckley, 1849.) — 784 focus

But my heart can no longer abide without flight, and my darkened spirit throbs. But my father's look-out has undone me: I perish with terror. Would I could obtain death by the twistings of the noose, before the abhorred man draw nigh , and, ere that, may Pluto rule us dying by our own hands.

790

Chorus

Thereafter I refuse not to become a booty for dogs and a banquet for the local birds; for death is freedom from misery-loving evils. Come death, death be my doom,
800

before the marriage-bed! How can I yet find some means of escape to deliver me from marriage?
805

Chorus

For the males of the race of Aegyptus , intolerable in their wantonness, chase after me,

a fugitive, with clamorous lewdness and seek to lay hold of me with violence. But yours alone is the beam of the balance, and without you what is accomplished for mortals?
820

Plus vif.

Que ne puis-je m'asseoir au sein

CORO

Niger color quatit meum cor.

Patris labore uerò magis pereo metu.

Vellem fatalem laqueum aſsequi in funibus,

Priuſquam tangerem uirum deteſtandum manibus.
740

In conſpectu moriens bello regnaret.

Chorus The evil is no longer escapable; my heart is darkened and trembling; the look-out my father held has brought me ruin. I am undone with terror. Rather would I meet my doom in a noose 785 than suffer the embraces of a man I loathe. Death before that, with Hades for my lord and master! 790
