Does then the godlike monarch, of blessed memory, hear me as I utter the all-varied barbaric clear plaintive dismal cries? A loud outcry will I make over our utterly wretched sorrows. Does he then hear me from beneath the earth?

Doth he hear me send out in my sorrow the pitiful, manifold cry,
The sobbing lament and appeal? is the voice of my suffering sped
To the realm of the shades? doth he hear me and pity my sorrowful sigh?

Notes on the current edition

Persians

1. Une incantation n'a de succès que si elle atteint celui à qui elle s'adresse, et, pour se faire écouter de lui, elle doit lui parler sa langue (cf. Suppliantes, p. 17, n. 2). Les fidèles parlent le barbare : Darios peut donc comprendre ce que signifie leur appel. Eschyle [s'est appliqué dans tout ce chœur à employer des mots ou des formes qui donnent à l'ensemble une couleur exotique].

Anrufung des Da- reios. Zweifelnde Frage ob er sie auch höre. Der erste Vers chori- ambisch, der zweite trochäisch (mit Anakrusis); darauf nach zwei Gly- koneen ein trochäischer Vers (mit Anakrusis) und ein Pherekrateus. - Fünf Epitheta von βάγματα (lau- tes Klagelied). Oder soll (muſs) ich über die Maſsen laut rufen, damit er drunten mich hört?
