Alas! wretched that I am, having met with this hateful doom beyond all conjecture;-how ruthlessly hath the demon assailed the race of the Persians! What shall I suffer miserable? for the vigour of my limbs fails as I look upon this [aged] company of citizens here before me. O Jove! that the doom of death could enshroud me also along with the men that are departed.

Ah me, how ſudden have the ſtorms of Fate,
Beyond all thought, all apprehenſion, burſt
On my devoted head!
O Fortune, Fortune!
1115
With what relentleſs fury hath thy hand
Hurl'd deſolation on the Perſian race!
Wo unſupportable!
The tort'ring thought
Of our loſt youth comes ruſhing on my mind,
1120
And ſinks me to the ground.
O Jove, that I
Had died with thoſe brave men that died in ſight!

Ahimè! Misero me, qual destino
odïoso, inatteso, m'oppresse!
Con quale impeto il Dèmone crudo
1045
s'abbatte' su la stirpe dei Persi!
Che farò, tristo me?
Dei ginocchi
mi si stempra il vigor, quando miro
tanti vecchi a me innanzi!
1050
Deh!, Giove,
deh!, se avesse anche me fra gli estinti
seppellito il destino di morte!

O' infelix ego, adeptus hoc fatum odiofum,

Alas the day, that I should fall
910
Into this grimmest fate of all,
This ruin doubly unforeseen!
On Persia's land what power of Fate
Descends, what louring gloom of hate?
How shall I bear my teen?
915
My limbs are loosened where they stand,
When I behold this aged band—
Oh God! I would that I too, I,
Among the men who went to die,
Were whelmed in earth by Fate's command!

Drittes Stasimon. Loblied auf Dareios, aus Anlaſs seiner vorausgegangenen Erschei- nung. Glück und Gröfse des per- sischen Reichs unter ihm. Seine Verdienste werden vor dem Auf- treten des Xerxes noch einmal ver- gegenwärtigt, des Kontrastes wegen. Zugleich erhalten so seine Rat- schläge (790 ff. 824 ff.) doppeltes Gewicht. Altertümlicher Charakter, epische Aufzählung, auch viele epi- sche Formen und Wendungen, so- wie das Maſs überwiegend dakty- lisch und altertümlich einfach, in der Weise des Stesichoros. Vgl. Westphal2 II S 373 ff.

Der daktylische Grundcharakter des ganzen Liedes ist hier besonders scharf ausgeprägt, das trochäische Element erst am Schlusse der ganzen Strophe ver- treten. Abschluſs der Aufzählung durch die ionischen Städte des Fest- lands und nochmalige Gegenüber- stellung der jetzigen Lage. – σφε- τέραις φρεσίν, durch seine Weis- heit, nicht dadurch, daſs er selbst zu Felde zog. Vgl. 864 f. σφέτερος von Einem wie Ag. 760. Vgl. Kr. II 51, 1. A. 14. ἀκάματον hat die erste Silbe lang nach epischer Messung wie ἀθάνατος, Prom. 185 ἀπαράμυθος. - τευχηστήρων, vgl. Sept. 644. - θεότρεπτα παλάμαισι 8. ν. α. θεῶν παλάμαισι τετραμμένα, deorum consiliis mutata, in calami- tatem conversa; vgl. Pind. Ol. 10, 25 θεοῦ σὺν παλάμᾳ u. unten 941 f. In dem was wir jetzt zu tragen haben zeigt sich unzweifelhaft die Hand der Gottheit; vgl. 739. 801 f. Die Hinweisung auf das jetzige Unglück vermittelt das Auftreten von dessen Urheber.
