Com'è che il nome sai di mio padre ?
Dimmelo, a questa meschina dillo.
Chi, sventurato, sei tu, che a questa
misera parli sí vere cose,
700
ed il celeste morbo hai nomato
che me tapina strugge, e m'incalza,
ahi, ahi! coi pungoli della demenza?
Ahimè, ahi!
Movendo, a sconci balzi, famelica,
705
spinta dal rabido furore d'Era,
impetuosa giunsi. Fra i miseri
chi v'è che soffra quello ch'io soffro ?
Deh!, chiaro insegnami, tu, adesso, mostrami
che cosa debbo patire ancora.
710
E dimmi inoltre, se lo conosci,
se v'è del male rimedio o farmaco.
Schiudi le labbra : favella a questa
vergine, a errore misero spinta.

From whence utterest thou the name of my father? Tell me, the woe-begone, who thou art, who, I say, O hapless one, that hast thus correctly accosted me miserable, and hast named the heaven-inflicted disorder which wastes me, fretting with its maddening stings? Ah! ah! violently driven by the famishing tortures of my boundings have I come a victim to the wrathful counsels of Juno. And of the ill-fated who are there, ah me! that endure woes such as mine? But do thou clearly define to me what remains for me to suffer, what salve: what remedy there is for my malady, discover to me, if at all thou knowest: speak, tell it to the wretched roaming damsel.

sont les miens ? Allons, signifie-moi nettement quelles souffrances m'attendent. Est-il une issue, un remède à mon mal ? Montre-le moi, si tu le sais. Parle et renseigne la triste vierge errante.

Whence is it that I hear my father's name?
Speak to my miſery, tell me who thou art;
What wretch art thou, that to a wretch like me
Uttereſt these truths, naming the malady,
Which, heav'ninflicted, ſtings my tortur'd ſoul
605
To frenzy? Hence with hurrying ſteps I rove
Foodleſs, purſued by neverceaſing wrath.
Ah me! What child of miſery ever ſuffer'd
Miſery like mine?
But tell me, clearly tell me
610
What woes await me yet, what eaſe, what cure?
Say, if thou know'ſt, ſpeak, tell a wand'ring virgin.

Alack, thou namest Inachus my sire!
Wottest thou of him? how, from lips of pain,
Comes to my woeful ears truth's very strain?
How knowest thou the curse, the burning fire
645
The god-sent, piercing pest that stings and clings?
Ah me! in frenzied, foodless wanderings
Hither I come, and on me from on high
Lies Hera's angry craft! Ah, men unblest!
Not one there is, not one, that is unblest as I.
650
But thou—tell me the rest!
Utter the rede of woes to come for me;
Utter the aid, the cure, if aid or cure there be!

Wie wurde dir meines Vaters Name kund?
Sage mir's, der Dulderin!
Und wer, Armer, bist du selbst,
Der mich Qualvolle so mit treffendem Namen nennt?
Der du das Leid aussprachst, das von den Göttern mich
595
Endlos quält, das in's Herz zehrend bohrt
Stacheln rasenden Wahnsinns? Ha!
In irren Sprunges stürmender Hast, gejagt
Von grollender Rache Hera's,
Kam ich hieher, in wildwühlenden Hungers Qual.

Wer ist der Unselige, der (o Graun !)
Duldet, was ich dulde?
Auf, enthülle mir
In klarer Rede, welches Leid
Mir noch bevorsteht, zeige, wenn du kannst, den Weg,
605
Meine Qual zu heben!
O sprich, gib der unsel'gen Jungfrau Bescheid!

Vit. et alii nonnulli. Turbari videtur hic στιχομυθία eo quod duobus quos Io dixit versibus uno respondet Prometheus. Vnde quae nascitur suspicio, excidisse hic alterum Promethei versum, eam augere videri potest scholiastes, qui sic scripsit,
Ἐπικούρειόν ἐστι δόγμα, ἀναιροῦν τὴν μαντικήν· εἱμαρμένης γάρ, φησί, πάντα κρατούσης, πρὸ καιροῦ λελύπηκας, ἢ χρηστόν τι εἰπὼν τὴν ἡδονὴν ἐξέλυσας. λέγουσι δὲ καὶ τὸ “ἃ δεῖ γενέσθαι, ταῦτα καὶ γενήσεται.”
Quae adnotatio a quopiam profecta videri potest, qui quum omissum in codicis quem transscribebat contextu hunc versum in margine adscriptum videret, eum ut proverbium explicationis caussa adiectum interpretationi suae inserendum esse putaverit. Est autem haec sententia aptissima, et ex hoc ipso dicto recte concludere potuit Io quod respondet,
μήτοι με κρύψῃς τοῦθ᾽ ὅπερ μέλλω παθεῖν
, in quibus verbis Schützius, non recte rationem conclusam videns, iure haerebat. Monui haec dudum in diss. de versibus spuriis apud Aeschylum p. 10. sive Opusc. II. p. 83. Potest tamen quod libri praebent defendi, modo
τοι
non concludendae rationi, sed asseverando hortandoque inservire credamus. Neque quod ad
στιχομυθίαν
attinet, deest quod responderi possit, quum alio modo servata esse aequabilitas videatur. Nam quemadmodum post v. 614. 615. septem versus sunt inter Prometheum et Ionem divisi, ita idem factum est post v. 623. 624.

μᾶσσον ἢ ἐμοὶ γλυκύ: Libri
μᾶσσον ὡς ἐμοὶ γλυκύ
. Turnebus ex codice quopiam notavit, quod Brunckius aliique probarunt. Elmsleius
μασσόνως ἐμοὶ γλυκύ
, elegante et valde probabili coniectura; licet eam ipse ad Heracl. 544. non magni se facere dixerit. At aut sic scripsit, opinor, Aeschylus, aut
μάσσον ὧν ἐμοὶ γλυκύ
, i. e.
ἢ ἃ σε προκήδεσθαι ἐμοὶ γλυκύ ἐστι
. Sed quum haud paullo verisimilius sit
μασσόνως
a librariis esse depravatum, non dubitavi recipere Elmsleii emendationem. Neque enim inveni nisi et paucissima et ea valde suspecta exempla, quae tueri
ὡς
gratum viderentur. Quorum aptissimum est Dii Pythagorei apud Stobaeum LXV. 16. de hominibus formosis dicentis
τούτως γάρ, ὡς ἐνί, ισσότερον οἱ πλεῦνες ὡς θεὼς ἢ θεῶν ἱδρύματα ὑποτρέχοντι καὶ θεραπεύοντι, θρησκεύοντες οὐ καλὰν θρήσκειαν
. Recte sic ibi vulgo legebatur,
ὡς ἐνί
, ut uno verbo dicam, neque debebat hoc, quamvis cum auctoritate, in
ὡς ví
mutari. Et hoc quidem exemplum eo memorabile est, quia non licet in
ἢ ὡς
scribi, quo fortasse remedio uti quis velit in aliis, ut apud Lysiam or. VII. 12. quae est de oleis excisis,
ἐγὼ τοίνυν, ὦ βουλή, ἐν μὲν τῷ τέως χρόνῳ, ὅσοι με φάσκοιεν δεινὸν καὶ ἀκριβῆ καὶ οὐδὲν ἂν εἰκῇ καὶ ἀλογίστως ποιῆσαι, ἠγανάκτουν ἄν, ἡγούμενος μᾶλλον λέγεσθαι ὡς μοι προςήκει
. Quo in loco ex
μᾶλλον
repetendum
δεινὸν καὶ ἀκριβῆ
. Εt §. 31.
ἐγὼ γὰρ τὰ ἐμοὶ προςτεταγμένα ἅπαντα προθυμότερον πεποίηκα ὡς ὑπὸ τῆς πόλεως ἠναγκαζόμην
. Αc profecto in priore horum locorum Dobraeus Adv. I. p. 206. vel
ὧν
vel
ἢ
vel
ἢ ὡς
scribi voluit. Omninoque Lysiae et Stobaeo, quorum scriptorum libri plurimis et maximis inquinati sunt librariorum erroribus, non multum in huiusmodi rebus tribui potest. Quare ego quoque et Lysiae illa exempla correctione indigere, et in Dii verbis pro
ὡς
scribendum
ἢ
arbitror, quarum vocularum quam facilis permutatio sit ostendit Bastius in diss. palaeogr. p. 780. In versibus Xenophanis apud Ath. XII. p. 526. A. recte scribitur
οὐ μείους ἤπερ χίλιοι εἰς ἐπίπαν
. Αpud Xenophontem Hist. Gr. II. 3, 16. scribendum est
εἰ δὲ – ἧττόν τι οἴει ἢ ὥςπερ τυραννίδος ταύτης τῆς ἀρχῆς χρῆναι ἐπιμελεῖσθαι
: conf. ibi Schneiderum. Alia quae afferuntur, in quibus
ὡς
aut simile vocabulum pro
ἤ
positum sit, aut alius generis sunt, aut male intellecta. Non potest huc referri quod Demosthenes dixit in or. contra Aristogitonem prima S. 53. p. 786, 20.
εἶτ᾿ ὃν οὐδὲ τῶν ἐν λίθου θεῶν εἰκός ἐστι τυχεῖν ἵλεων, ἀλλ᾽ εἰς τοὺς ἀσεβεῖς ὠσθῆναι διὰ τὴν πονηρίαν τοῦ βίου, τοῦτον ὑμεῖς ἀδικοῦντα λαβόντες οὐ μόνον οὐ τιμωρήσεσθε, ἀλλὰ καὶ μειζόνων ἀξιώσαντες δωρεῶν ἀφήσετε ὡς τοὺς εὐεργέτας;
Significat enim
ὡς
hic idem quod
εἰς
, oppositaque sunt haec verba,
ἀφήσετε ὡς τοὺς εὐεργέτας
, illis,
εἰς τοὺς ἀσεβεῖς ὠσθῆναι
. Neque magis huc referri potest illud Damoxeni apud Galenum vol. II. p. 422. ed. Bas. sive vol. XIII. p. 1053. ed. Lips.
πλεῖον δὲ τοῦ χειμῶνος, ὡς λίτραν, βάλ' εἰς οἴνου Φαλερίνου μέλανος οὐγκίας δέκα
. Sic ibi, non
πλεῖόν τε
, scribendum. Non enim plus quam libram dicit, sed circiter una libra plus quam si non hieme miscetur medicamentum. Nam quae praecedunt verba, quae sic scripta leguntur,
λίτραν τ' ἐλαίου τοῦ Σαβίνου δὶς δ'
, ita videntur esse corrigenda,
λίτρας τ᾽ ἐλαίου τοῦ Σαβίνου τέσσαρας
, quoniam
δὶς δ'
ex fine versus, qui hunc praecedit, pro simplici
δ'
repetitum esse verisimile est. Non perspexit illius rationis naturam, qua nomini vel adverbio comparativo cum negatione coniuncto
ὡς
additur, Schaeferus ad Plutarchum vol. IV. p. 394. Nam id genus loquendi significat nihil aeque ut. Dixit de eo Nitzschius in dissertatione de comparativis Graecae linguae modis editioni Ionis Platonici adiecta p. 76. Sic et in illo Plutarchi loco, Coriol. 36.
καὶ μὴν οὐδενὶ μᾶλλον ἔπρεπε τηρεῖν χάριν ὡς σοί, πικρῶς οὕτως ἀχαριστίαν ἐπεξιόντι
: et apud Polybium ΙΙΙ. 12, 5.
διὸ καὶ τοὺς ἐπὶ πραγμάτων ταττομένους χρὴ τῶν τοιούτων οὐδενὸς μᾶλλον φροντίζειν ὡς τοῦ μὴ λανθάνειν τὰς προαιρέσεις τῶν διαλυομένων τὰς ἔχθρας, ἢ συντιθεμένων τὰς φιλίας
. VII. 4, 5.
μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα φάσκοντες μηδενὶ καθήκειν μᾶλλον τὴν ἁπάντων Σικελιωτῶν ἀρχὴν ὡς ἐκείνῳ
. ΧΙ. 2, 9.
Ἀσδρούβας δέ, ἕως μὲν ἦν ἐλπὶς ἐκ τῶν κατὰ λόγον τοῦ δύνασθαι πράττειν ἄξιόν τι τῶν προβεβιωμένων, οὐδενὸς μᾶλλον προενοεῖτο κατὰ τοὺς κινδύνους ὡς τῆς αὑτοῦ σωτηρίας
. Ad idem genus pertinent etiam Platonis exempla in Apologia Socratis c. 26. p. 36. D. quo loco additum
οὕτως

ὡς
aperte monstrat verae explicationis viam, et de rep. VII. p. 526. C. Euripides Hippol. 530.

ἀφνίδιος
, ab

. Tamen ille mihi non persuasit, qui videam quidem analogiae convenire eam formam, sed tamen suspectam habeam, quum usus diphthongum etiam in prosa oratione, si libris fides est, probasse videatur. Negavitque etiam Porsonus, Dobraeo teste in Aristophanicis p. (145.) umquam Atticos dixisse
ἀφνιδίως
. Atque illa quae in codicibus illis adscripta est interpretatio
αἰφνίδιος

561-886. Third Episode. Io and Prometheus. The myth of Io is connected with that of Prometheus by the person of Heracles, the libera- tor of Prometheus, who is descended from paphus, the son of Zeus and Io (see on 774). The appearance of Io therefore prepares the way for the introduction of Heracles in the Προ- μηθεὺς λυόμενος. But the immediate significance of this scene consists in the present relation of Zeus and Io. Io appears as innocent and yet perse- cuted; her sufferings, superficially considered, put Zeus in the worst possible light. Accordingly the in- dignation of Prometheus rises more and more, till at last, carried away by passion, he vaunts his secret in such terms that the interposition of Zeus becomes inevitable. So the transition to the catastrophe is pre- pared. The geographical part of this episode, with its description of marvels, like the scene of Heracles in the Προμηθεὺς λυόμενος (see below, Frg. VII. and VIII.), doubtless had a peculiar charm for the Athenians of the period. On the origin of the myth of Io, see Introd. p. 9, footnote. Io appears as a horned maiden (588, 674; so indi- cated by her mask). In early Greek art, especially in vase-paintings, she has the figure of a cow outright. On the throne of the Amyclaean Apollo, a work of the sculptor Bathycles (about Ol. 60), Hera was represented as glaring at Io, 'who is already a cow' (Paus. iii. 18. 7). On an archaic black-figured vase of the Munich collection (No. 573; see Panofka, Argos Panoptes, plate 5), Argus is seen, seated on the ground, a fero- cious figure with long hair and beard, and a huge eye in his shaggy breast; he holds in his hand a long cord, attached to the horns of a cow. Near by stands Hermes, grasping the cord near the horns with his left hand, and about to draw his sword with his right. Argus's dog
stands at bay in front of his master. Through the influence of this trag- edy, Io came later to be depicted in art as a maiden with horns. So, for instance, on a red-figured vase of the Berlin Museum (Panofka, l.c., plate 3). The stinging gadfly' of the legend (cp. Suppl. 306 BΑ. τί οὖν ἔτευξεν ἄλλο δυσπότμῳ βοΐ; ΧΟ. βοη- λάτην μύωπα κινητήριον, Verg. Georg. iii. 147 cui nomen asilo Ro- manum est, oestrum Graii vertere vocantes), which is mentioned in Io's narrative, 675 be- low, had also to be omitted in the scenic representation. The difficulty was met by a figurative conception of οἶστρος; the maddening sting was interpreted as the reminiscence of the crafty eye of Argos (567). — On account of the unusual manner of Io's entrance and exit, the anapaests which commonly accompany the ar- rival and departure of a personage are here and at 877 given to the actor, not to the chorus. So above, at the entrance of the chorus (120 ff.).

631. μήπω γε: the relation of Io's adventures, beginning at this point, is in three parts. First comes Io's own narrative, given at request of the chorus; secondly, Prometheus, at Io's request, foretells her future destiny; and thirdly, he describes her previous wanderings, in order to convince her of his knowledge of the future. The second part is further divided into two distinct portions - wanderings in Europe (700-741), and wanderings in Asia and Africa (786-- 818). These are separated by a di- gression, but interest in the continu- ance of the narrative is ensured by 740 f. Thus by variety of motive, and by frequent hints of what is to come, the poet keeps the spectators' attention (see on 283) and gives his material an effective dramatic form.

676. εὔποτον: cp. 812. 'The Greeks in general were so little prone to de- scriptive poetry that we cannot but wonder at the inexhaustible wealth of expression with which their poets describe the blessings of flowing water. It is surprising how carefully they inquired into its properties, and how they compared the waters of distant regions, distinguishing their temperature, taste, color, weight, and - their effect on the human body in drinking and bathing' (Ernst Curtius in Griechische Quell- und Brunnenin- schriften). – Κερχνείας ῥέος : Κέρχνη κρήνη ῎Αργους, Schol. According to Pausanias ii. 24, 7, the small town Κεγχρεαί (the later form of the name) lay on the route from Argos to Tegea. Not far away, near the coast, was the marshy lake of Lerna, renowned in the myth of Heracles. Cp. Pau- san. ii. 36, 6. 'The mountain-ridge Pontinus pushes out so close to the sea that the waters welling up at its base have not space to form a river- bed. It is these springs which pro- duce the Lernaean swamp.... Lerna itself was never a town; the name designates either the chief fountain, or the lake, or the whole coast-region' (E. Curtius, Peloponnesos II. pp. 340, 371).

Here, too, the poet skilfully passes over details (see on 571). ἀπροσδόκητος, ἀφνίδιος: joined as in Thuc. ii. 61 δουλοῖ γὰρ φρόνημα τὸ αἰφνίδιον καὶ ἀπροσδόκητον καὶ τὸ πλεί- στῳ παραλόγῳ συμβαίνον. The form ἀφνίδιος is from ἄφνω. For the reso- lution, see on 2. The caesura is to be made after αὐτόν, not after ἀπροσ- δόκητος δ᾽.

Att. xiv. 10 haec et alia ferre non possum; itaque γῆν πρὸ γῆς cogito. The expression (πρό= ἀντί) is analogous to ἀμείβεσθαι τόπον.

702. τὸν ἀμφ᾽ ἑαυτῆς ἀθλον : = ἀμφ᾽ ἑαυτῆς τὸν ἑαυτῆς ἆθλον ἐξηγουμένης. An attributive of the subject or ob- ject is often modified by the intrusion of a preposition which would natu- rally accompany the predicate. This is most frequent with the prepositions ἐξ, ἀπό, παρά. Cp. Cho. 507 τὸν ἐκ βυθοῦ κλωστῆρα σῴζοντες λίνου = τὸν ἐν βυθῷ κλωστῆρα λίνου (i.e. net) σφ- ζοντες ἐκ βυθοῦ, also Ag. 538 κῆρυξ ᾿Ἀχαιῶν χαῖρε τῶν ἀπὸ στρατοῦ. Krü- ger I. § 50, 8, 10 (cp. H. 788 a). But it occurs also with other prepositions; thus εὐσεβεῖν τὰ πρὸς θεούς, Soph. Phil. 1441

Herodotus was the first to bring to the Greeks a more accurate knowledge of the country and peo- ples north of the Pontus.

Ас- cording to Hdt. iv. 19, these Scythians lived on the Carcinite gulf, west of the Crimean isthmus: τὸ δὲ πρὸς ἠῶ τῶν γεωργῶν τούτων Σκυθέων (on the Borysthenes), διαβάντι τὸν Παντικάπην ποταμόν, νομάδες ἤδη Σκύθαι νέμονται, οὔτε τι σπείροντες οὐδὲν οὔτε ἀροῦντες. But before Herodotus their residence had not been thus determined, and Aeschylus thinks of them as dwelling far in the north near the Ocean. Cp. Strab. p. 492 τὸ πρῶτον μέρος ἐκ τῶν πρὸς ἄρκτον μερῶν καὶ τὸν ᾿Ὠκεανὸν Σκυθών τινες νομάδες καὶ ἁμάξοικοι, Plin. H. N. vi. 20, 53 inhabitabilis prima pars a Scythico pro- muntorio ob nives, proxima inculta saevitia gentium.

714. Either verses have fallen out between 713 and 714, in which some other region, to be visited by Io after leaving the Ocean, was mentioned (cp. Frg. IX. of the Προμηθεὺς λυό- μενος), or the poet means that Io, having passed the Nomad Scythians in her course along the shore of Ocean, is to leave the Chalybes at her left, that is, wander inland and southward between the Scythians and Chalybes, until she reaches the river Hybristes. This she must follow upwards to its source in the Cauca- sus (720). - λαιᾶς χειρός : on the genitive, see Krüger II. § 46, 1, 3; G. 179, 2; H. 760; and Schneidewin- Nauck on Soph. El. 900.
