One strove through tottering walls to force his way,
One claimed, in bitter arrogance, the sway,
And both alike, even now and here,
Have closed their suit, with steel for arbiter!

And lo, the Fury-fiend of Oedipus, their sire,
Hath brought his curse to consummation dire!

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).
