The royal armament that makes havoc of cities, hath some time since passed over to the adjoining opposite region, having crossed the frith of Helle daughter of Athamas 1

A sterminio di città mosse l'esercito
del Gran Re, la terra invase che finitima
surge contro il suolo d'Asia:
75
su compagini di tronchi, su compagini di canapi,
superò d'Elle Atamàntide il tragitto,
poi che un giogo, un ponte tutto irto di cunei
del mar sopra la cervice ebbe confitto.

ATOSSA
My friends, whoso is versed in sorrow, knows
600
That when on mortals comes a surge of ills,
Prone are they then to fear; but when the tide
Of fortune smoothly glides, fondly they trust
That the same fortune still will waft them on.
So now to me are all things full of fear;
Woes sent of Heaven are present to mine eyes;
Rings in mine ear a cry, no pæan strain:
Such terror from these evils scares my soul.
Wherefore without my car and wonted pomp,
Once more I issue from my home, and bring
610
To my son's royal sire, libations kind,
Whate'er is soothing to the honoured dead.
White milk, sweet draught from heifer undefiled;
The flower-distiller's dew, translucent honey,
And crystal water drawn from virgin spring;
Here joyance too I bring of ancient vine,
Draught unadulterate from mother wild;
From pale green olive-tree, that while it lives
With constant leafage blooms, this odorous fruit;
And wreathèd flowers, brood of all-teeming Earth.
620
But, O my friends, chant ye well-omened hymns
O'er these libations offered to the dead;
Darius' mighty ghost do ye invoke,
While I, these honours, which the earth shall drink,
Myself will send to deities below.

Ere now they have passed o'er the sea, the manifold host of the king—
They have gone forth to sack and to burn; ashore on the Westland they spring!
With cordage and rope they have bridged the sea-way of Helle, to pass
O'er the strait that is named by thy name, O daughter of Athamas!
80
They have anchored their ships in the current, they have bridled the neck of the sea—
The Shepherd and Lord of the East hath bidden a roadway to be!

In die jenseitigen nachbarlichen Gau'n brachen die burg-
ftürmenden Heerschaaren des Großkönigs hindurch schon
In dem wohlfugenden Boot über den Sund der
Athamantischen Helle:

Um den Nacken der See
Schlang sich das Joch, schlang sich der dichtbalkige Heerpfad.
