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;

παισθεὶς ἔπαισας. σὺ δ᾽ ἔθανες κατακτανών Quae hinc usque ad v. 968. leguntur, in libro III. de metris insigni temeritate in alium ordinem redegeram, ut restituerem antistrophica. Fuerunt aliqui, quibus persuaderem. Perpauca tantum eorum, quae tum protuli, vera sunt. Versibus sane antistrophicis hae sororum lamentationes decurrunt, et initio quidem, quod praeclare ab Aeschylo institutum est, sic ut pressa dolore pectora nihil nisi respondentes sibi singultus proferant: paullo post, primo doloris impetu superato, largius funduntur longioribus strophis querelae: denique succedente maestitia paucis brevibus strophis lamentatio paullatim consistit. Personae in libris non ubique recte distinctae sunt. Certa tamen in hoc genere suppetit ratio. Primum enim stropharum summa requiritur aequabilitas. Deinde Polynicis maxime casum Antigona, Eteoclis Ismena dolet. Postremo natu maior Antigona, eademque excelsiore praedita indole, ubique praeit, secundae partes ubique sunt Ismenae, sorori respondentis. In primo versu, qui proodus est, verba

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).
