But in return for good things may you abound with good, divine king of the Pelasgians. But benevolently send hither our father Danaus, of good courage, prudent, and our chief adviser. For his is the first counsel, where it behoves us to inhabit abodes, and [where is] a place not subject to envy. Every one is ready to speak reproach against foreigners: but may the best things befall.

For these thy bounties may the bounteous Gods
Show'r bleſſings on thy head, thou gen'rous king
Of brave Pelaſgia! But benevolent
1045
Send us our father Danaus, on whoſe firm
And provident counſels we rely. His care
And ſage advice is needful, where to chuſe
Our dwelling, our ſecure retreat. The tongue
Of Slander is too prompt with wanton malice
1050
To wound the ſtranger: Act we then with caution.

In compenso dei beni largiti,
1030
possa tu d'ogni bene fiorire,
signor dei Pelasgi!
Né ti spiaccia inviarne qui Danao
nostro padre, che l'animo ha saldo,
che provvede e consiglia. A lui primo
1035
stabilir quali cose convengano,
quale posto abitare: ché pronto
è ciascuno a gittare l'obbrobrio
sugli estranei. Sia tutto pel meglio!
Con decoro, e con fama dal biasimo
1040
popolare non tocca, anche voi,
predilette ministre, ciascuna
rimarrà con ciascuna, siccome
v'ebbe in dote a noi Danao concesse.

Sed pro bonis, bonis abundes diue Pelaſgorum.
Mittito uerò promptus huc noſtrum
Patrem confidentem Danaū prouidentia adhibentes
Et conſilij principem. nam hinc priores

Nullum oportet ædes adhabitare.
Et locus lætus, quis dicet
Conuicia in peregrinos, fortunatus erit. hæc uerò optima sunt.
Ordinamini, charæ famulæ fic,
Quemadmodum pro quaq; fortitus est

O godlike chief, God grant my prayer:
Fair blessings on thy proffers fair,
Lord of Pelasgia's race!
Yet, of thy grace, unto our side
Send thou the man of courage tried,
1010
Of counsel deep and prudent thought,—
Be Danaus to his children brought;
For his it is to guide us well
And warn where it behoves to dwell—
What place shall guard and shelter us
1015
From malice and tongues slanderous:
Swift always are the lips of blame
A stranger-maiden to defame—
But Fortune give us grace!

Reich lohne für Heil euch Fülle des Heils,
915
O pelasgischer Held!
Nun sende voll Huld uns den Danaos her,
Der die Töchter mit Rath umsichtig bedenkt,
Ein getreu vorsorgender Vater.
Er möge zuvor auswählen ein Haus
920
Und ein freundliches Dach, wo zu wohnen uns ziemt.
Man tadelt so gern, was Fremdlinge thun:
O wende sich Alles zum Besten!

viertes Epeisodion: 1. Die Danaiden werden mit Ent- setzen des nahenden Herolds der Ägyptiaden gewahr und flüchten zum Altare. Der Herold erscheint und herrscht die Danaiden an (832-855). 2. Kommos (856-921), eine aufgeregte Szene, in welcher der Herold die Danaiden mit Drohungen und Gewalt bewegen will ihm zu den Schiffen zu folgen. 3. Der König weist den gewalt- tätigen Herold ab, welcher vor seinem Abtreten Krieg ankündigt. Den Danaiden überläßt der König die Wahl ihres Aufenthalts (922-976). 4. Die Danaiden wollen diese Wahl ihrem Vater anheimgeben und befehlen ihren Dienerinnen neben ihnen sich aufzustellen (977-990). 5. Danaos kommt mit einer Leibwache zu- rück um seine Töchter nach Argos zu bringen (991-1028). Die Partie 832-909 ist in einer sehr verderbten Gestalt überliefert, so daß sich an mehreren Stellen kaum nur der Sinn des ursprünglichen Textes erkennen läßt. Außer Pers. 678-680 findet sich glücklicher- weise im ganzen Äschylos keine Stelle, die auch nur annähernd einen so entstellten Text hätte. Vgl.,,Über die Textüberlieferung des Aschylos" in den Sitzungsb. der Münch. Ak. d. W. 1888 II S. 347 f.
