Say we, above these brethren dead,
On citizen, on foreign foe,
Brave was their rush, and stern their blow—
Now, lowly are they laid!
Beyond all women upon earth
940
Woe, woe for her who gave them birth!
Unknowingly, her son she wed—
The children of that marriage-bed,
Each in the self-same womb, were bred—
Each by a brother's hand lies dead!

Wohl darf ich anklagen diese Armen;

Seven Against Thebes

1. Et l'éloge funèbre est d'autant plus douloureux qu'il doit mentionner des citoyens parmi les ennemis immolés par les deux frères (923 suiv.).

ein ἰάλεμος nach der Angabe in 900, wonach dieser Ge- sang mit Zerreißen der Wangen (und mit Schlägen an Kopf und Brust nach 840f.) begleitet ist. Vgl. Cho. 422f., Soph. Αi. 627 f. mit Eur. Or. 1395. Diese Totenklage (854 f.) wird von Halbchören gesungen, welche in gleicher Weise abwechseln wie in Eum. 143-168, im ersten Strophenpaar zweimal, in den bei- den folgenden nur einmal. Auch die Unterbrechung des ersten Satzes durch den anderen Halbchor findet sich in den Eum. ebenso. 872 Η. δι' εὐωνύμων ὁμοσπλάγχνων τε (vgl. Pers. 569 Θρήκης ἂμ πε- διήρεις δυσχίμους τε κελεύθους) πλευρωμάτων τετυμμένοι, „,ins Herz, ins Bruderherz getroffen", Das schmerzliche Wort τετυμμένοι be- stätigt ( δῆτα: zu 864) der andere Halbchor. In der Lücke ist das verb. fin. verloren gegangen (etwa ἐπέσετε μέλεοι).
