and beyond the sea, those along the main land environed with fortresses obeyed this king, and those who boast 3
to dwell on both sides of the broad frith of Helle, and the gulfy Propontis, and the outlet of the Pontus:
the sea-girt islands too, near the marine promontory, lying hard by this land, Lesbos, for instance, and olive-planted Samos, Chios, and Paros, Myconus, and Andros touching in close neighbourhood upon Tenos.
He was lord too of the sea-girt isles situate midway between the continents, Lemnos, and the dwelling of Icarus, and Rhodes, Cnidus too, and the cities of Venus, Paphos, and Soli, and
He ruled too, by his prudence, over the opulent populous cities of the Greeks in the Ionian district. And there was at hand an unconquerable power of armed men, and of allies gathered from every nation. But now we, in no dubious way, have to endure the overthrow of these things from the hand of the gods, being terribly beaten down by wars, and by disasters on the deep.
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.

Et, en dehors de ce lac, celles qui, sur la terre ferme, portent ceinture de remparts ont obéi aussi à ce monarque.
Et les cités fièrement assises sur les bords du large détroit d'Hellé ; et le repli profond de la Propontide,
et les bouches du Pont !

Et les îles baignées du flot, qui, groupées autour d'un cap marin, s'attachent à notre sol d'Asie, telles Lesbos, Samos, qui
nourrit l'olivier, Chios ; et aussi Paros, Naxos, Mycônos ; Andros enfin, voisine attachée à Ténos !
Il commandait de même à celles qui s'élèvent au milieu de
la mer entre deux continents 1 , Lemnos, et le pays d'Icaros, et Rhodes, et Cnide,
et les cités de Chypre : Paphos, Soli —
Salamine, dont la métropole aujourd'hui cause nos gémissements 2 !
Et les villes opulentes du domaine ionien, si peuplées de
Grecs ! Et cela, par sa seule pensée, appuyée sur l'infatigable vigueur de ses hommes d'armes, la foule confuse de ses auxiliaires ! Mais nous
subissons aujourd'hui un revire-
ment clairement voulu des dieux et ployons sous les coups formidables que la guerre nous a portés sur les eaux 3 .

ANTISTROPHE 2.
E'en the proud towns, that rear'd
Sublime along th' Ionian coaſt their tow'rs,
Where wealth her treaſures pours,
1100
Peopled from Greece, his prudent reign rever'd.
With ſuch unconquer'd might
His hardy warriors ſhook th' embattled fields,
Heroes that Perſia yields,
And thoſe from diſtant realms that took their way,
1105
And wedg'd in cloſe array
Beneath his glitt'ring banners claim'd the ſight.
But now theſe glories are no more;
Farewell the big war's plumed pride:
The Gods have cruſh'd this trophied pow'r,
1110
Sunk are our vanquiſh'd arms beneath th' indignant tide.
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!

Che farò, tristo me?

tanti vecchi a me innanzi!

seppellito il destino di morte!

And those that stand back from the main, enringed by their fortified wall,
Gave o'er to Darius, the king, the sceptre and sway over all!
Those too by the channel of Helle, where southward it broadens and glides,
By the inlets, Propontis! of thee, and the strait of the Pontic tides,
895
And the isles that lie fronting our sea-board, and the Eastland looks on each one,
Lesbos and Chios and Paros, and Samos with olive-trees grown,
And Naxos, and Myconos' rock, and Tenos with Andros hard by,
And isles that in midmost Aegean, aloof from the continent, lie—
And Lemnos and Icaros' hold—all these to his sceptre were bowed,
900
And Cnidos and neighbouring Rhodes, and Soli, and Paphos the proud,
And Cyprian Salamis, name-child of her who hath wrought us this wrong!
Yea, and all the Ionian tract, where the Greek-born inhabitants throng,
And the cities are teeming with gold—Darius was lord of them all,
And, great by his wisdom, he ruled, and ever there came to his call,
905
In stalwart array and unfailing, the warrior chiefs of our land,
And mingled allies from the tribes who bowed to his conquering hand!
But now there are none to gainsay that the gods are against us; we lie
Subdued in the havoc of wreck, and whelmed by the wrath of the sky!
[ Enter Xerxes in disarray.
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!

Auch in der Joner Gefilden die reichen gesegneten Städte, gedrängt von
Hellas' Volke bewohnt, zwang er mit weisem Sinn.
855
Und unermüdliche Kraft der Gewappneten, Helfer aus allen
Völkern standen ihm nahe.
Doch jetzt dulden wir das; so ward es gewandt von den Göttern: sie schlugen
Graunvoll uns mit des Krieges Noth, des Meeres Unheil.

Weh!

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.
