Pour ye forth a grievous all-lamentable, sad-re-sounding voice; for this daemon hath made a turn back upon me.
For our ship-fenced Mars, yielding the victory to others, hath reaped mischief from the Ionians, after laying waste the darkling surface of the main and the ill-fated shore.
I left them fallen in death out of a Tyrian ship on the shores of Salamis, striking on the rugged headland.
Alas for me! after having beheld ancient Athens the hateful, all in one shock of fight, ah! ah! ah! wretched, lie gasping on the ground.

race et de ma patrie !
gémissants, lugubres : le Destin désormais s'est tourné contre moi !
Las ! hélas ! crie et achève d'apprendre 4 . Où
donc est ce qui reste de la multitude des tiens ? Où sont tes lieutenants, Pharandakès, Sousas, Pélagôn, Dotamas et Agda-
batas, Psammis, Sousiskanès, qui naguère quittait Ecbatane 5 ?
où est ton Pharnoukos ? et le preux Ariomardos ? Où donc sire Seuakès ? Lilaios aux

Then bid them flow, bid the wild meaſures flow,
Hollow, unmuſical, the notes of grief;
They ſuit my fortune, and dejected ſtate.
Again the voice of wild deſpair
With ſhrilling ſhrieks ſhall pierce the air;
For high the God of War his flaming creſt
1155
Raiſ'd, with the fleet of Greece ſurrounded,
The haughty arms of Greece with conqueſt bleſt,
And Perſia's wither'd force confounded,
Daſh'd on the dreary beach her heroes ſlain,
Or whelm'd them in the darken'd main.
1160
Daſh'd from the Tyrian veſſel on the rocks
1170
Of Salamis they ſunk, and ſmear'd with gore
The heroes on the dreary ſtrand are ſtretch'd.
Wretch that I am!
Theſe on th' abhorred town
Ogygian Athens d
, roll'd their glowing eyes
Indignant;
THE PERSIANS.
Indignant;
1185
but at once in the fierce ſhock
Of battle fell, daſh'd breathleſs on the ground.

Sí, levate lamento funesto
1075
con clamore di lutto: ché il Dèmone
contro noi volge l'impeto infesto.
Da spalti di navi, sterminio,
il Marte di Ionia,
ne fece, che, agli Elleni fido.
la pianura del mar fra le tenebre
1085
radeva e l'infausto lido.
Quando io li lasciai, giú da un tirio
navile piombavano.
1095
Erravano verso le spiagge
Salamine dispersi: i cadaveri
sbatteano alle rupi selvagge.
Ahimè, ahi!, procombettero
tutti ad un colpo. A la vetusta Atene
odïosa, le palpebre
fisse, ahi miseri! guizzan su le arene.

Ay, launch the woeful sorrow's cry,
The harsh, discordant melody,
For lo, the power, we held for sure,
Hath turned to my discomfiture!
950
Alas, the god of war, who sways
The scales of fight in diverse ways,
Gives glory to Ionia!
Ionian ships, in fenced array,
960
Have reaped their harvest in the bay,
A darkling harvest-field of Fate,
A sea, a shore, of doom and hate!
I left them, mangled castaways,
Flung from their Tyrian deck, and tossed
975
On Salaminian water-ways,
From surging tides to rocky coast!
Alas, alas, they came, their eyes surveyed
Ancestral Athens on that fatal day.
Then with a rending struggle were they laid
Upon the land, and gasped their life away!

Hebt an wehklagenden Jammers
890
Dumpfhallenden Laut: denn es stürmte der Zorn
Des Geschickes auf mich!
Der Hellene vertilgt' euch,
Der hellenische Ares,
Anstürmend in Schiffen;
Er mähte die nächtliche Flur,
900
Das Gestade des Todes.
Todt ließ ich sie dort, sah
Aus dem tyrischen Schiffe
910
Sie stürzen am Strande
Von Salamis, sah sie zerschellt
An der zackigen Klippe.
Nach dem grauen Athen, dem verhaßten,
Den Blick gewendet, niedergeschmettert zumal,
Die Armen, ach!
Liegen sie zuckend am Ufer alle.

ἔταφον ἔταφον· οὐκ ἀμφὶ σκηναῖς τροχηλάτοισιν, ὄπιθεν ἑπόμενοι.: Versus 971 974. in libris Xerxi tribuuntur. Sed v. 971. 972. choro esse continuandos strophae comparatio docet, atque in ipsa librorum scriptura est quod moneat, ne temere vices personarum conturbatam esse censeamus. Nam quum omnes libri
ἔταφον ἔταφον
habeant, facilius crediderim scholiastas, qui id partim per
ἀπέθανον
vel
Davor
, partim per
étágyaav
interpretantur, errasse, quam ex Valckenarii ad Eur. Hipp. v. 1247. sententia scribendum esse
étager, étager
. Omninoque quae de sepultura Persarum hic in scholiis tradita sunt, ea vereor ne non petita sint ex idoneis fontibus, sed ficta ad proferendam probabilem loci explicationem. Deinde
oux
in sola ed. Rob. deest. Eadem cum Ven. B.
Tooyrλúrois
habet. A metrico aliquo mutatus est in hunc modum verborum ordo in Ven. Β.
σκηναῖσιν οὐκ ἀμφὶ τροχηλάτοις
. Alio modo in Vit. interpolata est scriptura,
οὐκ ἀμφὶ σκηναῖς δ᾽ ἦν τροχηλάτοισιν ὄπισθεν δ᾽ ἑπόμενοι
. Omnes autem libri
ὄπισθεν 3 Enovo
habent, praeter Par. C. Turn. in quibus
лóueros
legitur, quae mutatio facta est ab aliquo homine qui
etaqov
prima persona dictum esse putabat. Quid multa? Vitium non nisi in altero versu, idque satis leve et haud dubie ex perversa aliqua grammaticorum explicatione ortum, latet. Scribendum est enim, ut Wellauerus quoque vidit, verbis choro continuatis,
ἔταφον, ἔταφον· οὐκ ἀμφὶ σκηναῖς τροχηλάτοισιν, ἔπιθεν ἑπόμενοι
. At verò, inquit, alium quoque desideramus, Mardorum ducem Xanthim, et Ancharen, aliosque. Miror, miror: non circa carpentum tuum sunt, pone sequentes. Xerxes, ut regem decet, non pedibus, sed carpento vectus advenerat, ita, opinor, ut carpentum ex longinquo conspiceretur, unde ille quum descendisset, in conspectum et ad alloquium chori prodierat. Itaque chorus, alios quoque quos desideret commemorans, mirari se dicit, quod eos non videat in comitatu Xerxis, sequentes harmamaxam eius. Nam quas dicit
σκηνὰς τροχηλάτους
, non intelligit aliud quam carpentum vel harmamaxam, id quod vel ex vocabulo
ozý
, etiam aliis scriptoribus in harmamáxae mentione usitato, colligi potest, quum hic
σκηναὶ
istae vocentur
τροχήλατοι
. V. Schefferum de re vehiculari II. 17. p. 217. seq. et Wesselingium ad Herod. VII. 41. Carpento autem uti Xerxen, non curru, consentaneum erat, ut qui non in pompa prodiret, sed fatigatus non intermissis itineribus requie indigeret. Ab omni autem dubitatione tutam hanc interpretationem praestat Herodotus, qui de ipso Xerxe eiusque expeditione explicans, VII. 41. ita scribit ut paene ipsa verba Aeschyli confirmet. Nam quum dixisset Xerxen curru equis Nisaeis iuncto Sardes reliquisse, sic pergit,
ἐξήλασε μὲν οὕτω ἐκ Σαρδίων Ξέρξης, μετεκβαίνεσκε δέ, όκως μιν λόγος αἱρέοι, ἐκ τοῦ ἅρματος ἐς ἁρμάμαξαν. αὐτοῦ δὲ ὄπισθε αἰχμοφόροι Περσέων οἱ ἄριστοι τε καὶ γενναιότατοι, χίλιοι, κατὰ νόμον τὰς λόγχας ἔχοντες
