She hastens through the Asian land, through sheep-feeding Phrygia: and she passes the city of Teuthras of the Mysians, and the Lydian plains, and through the Cilician and Pamphylian mountains with furious haste; and the ever-flowing rivers, and the wealthy region, and the corn-abounding land of Venus.
She arrives, driven along by the sting of the winged herdsman, at the divine all-fostering grove, the snow-fed mead, and on which comes [with] 3
the might of Typho, the water of Nile untouched by diseases, maddened by her ignominious toils, and by the stinging pains of raging Juno.
But the mortals who then were dwellers in the land, were seized in their minds by pale fear, beholding an unwonted sight, an intractable heifer mingled with a mortal, in part a heifer, and in part again a woman, and they were astonished at the prodigy. And then who was it in truth who soothed the much-wandering wretched Io, driven by the brize?

devant ce prodige ils demeuraient stupides. — Mais, alors, quel magicien vint donc guérir l'errante et misérable Io, tournoyante au vol du taon?

On paſtoral Phrygia's, or on Lydia's plains,
Or Myſian Teuthra's wide domains?
Wildly Cilicia's rugged mountains o'er,
Pamphilia's various tribes among,

Each ceaſeleſsflowing ſtream along,
Thro' cornclad fields, and vallies ever green,

To the divine, all ſoft'ring grove,

Thro' whoſe rich meads, impregn'd with

Temper'd with torrid beams Nile's healthful waters flow.
The race that then poſſeſs'd the land,

What gentle handEternal Lord 'twas thine;
Thy gentle hand, thy pow'r divine b
Sooth, ſoftly ſooth'd her frantic fear,
And from her glowing cheek wip'd ſorrow's modeſt tear.

And swift through Asian borders doth she urge
Her course, o'er Phrygian mountains' sheep-clipt side;
605
Thence, where the Mysian realm of Teuthras lies,
Towards Lydian lowlands hies,
And o'er Cilician and Pamphylian hills
And ever-flowing rills,
And thence to Aphrodite's fertile shore, 1
610
The land of garnered wheat and wealthy store.
And thence, deep-stung by wild unrest,
By the winged fly that goaded her and drave,
Unto the fertile land, the god-possest,
(Where, fed from far-off snows,
615
Life-giving Nilus flows,
Urged on by Typho's strength, a fertilizing wave),
She roves, in harassed and dishonoured flight,
Scathed by the blasting pangs of Hera's dread despite.
And they within the land
620
With terror shook and wanned,
So strange the sight they saw, and were afraid—
A wild twy-natured thing, half heifer and half maid.
Whose hand was laid at last on Io, thus forlorn,
With many roamings worn?
625
Who bade the harassed maiden's peace return?

Sie rennt weithin durch Asis' Auen,
Phrygia's lämmerbedeckte Gefilde;
525
Durch Teuthras' Stadt eilt sie, durch der Myser
Thale, die lydischen Gau'n
Und der Kiliker Gebirg
Und der Pamphyler in stürmendem Schwung;
Ströme, die nie rasten im Lauf, sah sie, das gold-

prangende Land, kam in das fruchtwallende Reich der Kypris.
Dritte Strophe.
Sie floh (rasch trieb sie fort der Flügelpfeil
Ihres Treibers) zum hehren,
Zum allnährenden Fruchthain,
Der schneegetränkten Ebne, die des Typhos Hauch
535
Mit Macht durchweht,
Zu Neilos' Flut, wo die Seuchen fliehen;
Rasend von grauser Mühen Schmach,
Kam sie, vom Schmerz, den die Stacheln gebohrt
Der zorntrunkenen Hera.

Dritte Gegenstrophe.
Das Volk, damals im Lande heimisch dort,
Bleiches Grausen erfaßt' es,
Da solch seltsamer Anblick
Sich bot, die grauenvolle Menschenmißgestalt,
Zur Hälfte Kuh,
545
Zur Hälfte Weib; Alles stand verwundert.
Wer, sich erbarmend, labte da
Jo, die unglückselige, wild
Umgetriebne von Wahnsinn?

erstes Stasimon: Gebet zu Gott (Zeus). Schütze uns gegen den Übermut der Männer; als Nachkommen der Io rufen wir zu dir als unserem Stammvater. Wir stehen jetzt wieder auf der Flur, von welcher Io fortgetrieben wurde hinauf zum Bosporus, über diesen nach Klein- asien, durch Phrygien, Mysien, Lydien, Pamphylien, Kilikien, Phönikien nach Ägypten, wo sie erschien zum Staunen der Be- wohner, welche sich über das niegesehene Wesen, halb Kuh, halb Frau, entsetzten. Dort in Ägypten aber legtest du deine heilende Hand auf sie und sie erhielt wieder ihre Gestalt und gebar von dir den Epaphos, den Ahnherrn unseres Geschlechts. Wir haben also ein Anrecht auf deine Hilfe, und du kannst helfen; denn wer ist mäch- tiger als Zeus, dessen Wort sofort zur Tat wird!" Auch hier benutzt der Dichter die Gelegenheit seine geographischen Kenntnisse zu ver- werten. Vgl. zu 261.
