O dear son of Œdipus, I felt terror when I heard the din from the clatter of the cars, when the wheel-whirling naves rattled, and [the din] of the fire-wrought bits, the rudders of the horses, passing through their mouths that know no rest.

O cher enfant d'Œdipe, je prends peur à ouïr le fracas, le fracas des chars sonores, le cri qu'ont
poussé les essieux en ébranlant les roues, et aussi le frein des chevaux, qui jamais ne s'endort dans leurs bouches, le mors, fils de la flamme 1 !

Dear to thy country, son of Oedipus,
My soul was seiz'd with terror, when I heard
The rapid car roll on, its whirling wheels
Grating harsh thunder; and the iron curb
Incessant clashing on the barbed steed.

Figlio d'Edipo, m'invase terrore,

rombare udendo il frastuono dei cocchi
che turbinarono, i mozzi stridettero.
E dalle fauci suonâr secchi i ferrei
timoni equini, temprati alla fiamma.

I heard the clash and clang!
The axles rolled and rumbled; woe to us
Fire-welded bridles rang!

O du, des Oedipus theuerer Sohn, mit Graun
Vernahm ich der heranrasselnden Wagen Gedröhn,

Als die räderumrollende Nabe scholl,
Als am stetswachen Steuer das Gebiß der Nosse klang,
Am flammengebornen Zügel.

στέγων: Schol. εἴργων. Vgl. zu 202. Der Ausdruck θά- νατον είλετ' ἐν πόλει ist unge- schickt. Man hat dafür ἐν πύλαις (Francken), besser έν πάλῃ (Stadt- müller) vermutet. Da aber der Ge- danke' schon mit ἐπ᾿ εὐνοίᾳ . καλόν (998f.) angegeben ist, so entsteht der Verdacht einer Inter- polation, zumal da auch der Aus- druck ἱερῶν πατρῴων ὅσιος ὤν nicht ganz klar ist (,,in Bezug auf die heimischen Heiligtümer rein von Sünde, nicht wie Polynikes 1008 f. mit Schuld gegen die Götter des Landes behaftet").
