I shudder with dread that the power that lays waste this house, not like the gods, the all-true, the evil-boding Erinnys summoned by the curses of the father, is bringing to a consummation the wrathful curses of distracted Œdipus

aux déesses, la prophétesse trop véridique de malheurs, l'Érinys appelée par les vœux d'un
père, n'accomplisse les imprécations courroucées d'Œdipe en démence : c'est à leur perte que ce conflit jette ses fils.

She comes, the fierce tremendous pow'r q

And harrows up my ſoul with dread;
825
No gentle Goddess, prompt to ſhow'r
Her bleſſings on ſome favour'd head.
I know her now, the propheteſs of ill,
And vengeance ratifies each word,
The votive fury, fiend abhor'd;
830
The father's curſes to fulfill
Dreadful ſhe comes, and with her brings
The brood of fate, that laps the blood of kings.

I shudder in dread of the power, abhorred by the gods of high heaven,
The ruinous curse of the home till roof-tree and rafter be riven!

Too true are the visions of ill, too true the fulfilment they bring
To the curse that was spoken of old by the frenzy and wrath of the king!
Her will is the doom of the children, and Discord is kindled amain,

Mir graut: die stammtilgende Göttin,
695
Die den Göttern nicht Verwandte,
Sie, des Leids wahre Prophetin,
Von des Vaters Fluch beschworen,
Sie erscheint, Dedipus' wahnsinnigen, zornschnaubenden Fluch führt sie hinaus;
Brudervertilgender Zwist erweckt sie.

zweites Stasimon, welches die Verkettung von Schuld und Buße im Labdakidenhause und den inneren Zusammenhang der Trilogie darlegt: Der Fluch des Ödipus, dessen Erfüllung der Streit seiner Söhne beschleunigt, wird zu dem Wechselmorde der Brüder füh- ren und so wird ein unsühnbarer Greuel zur. alten Not des Labda- kidenhauses hinzukommen. Diese alte Not begann mit der Schuld des Laios, dem Ungehorsam gegen das Gebot des Delphischen Gottes. Die Schuld des Laios, welche er alsbald mit seinem Leben büßte, übt ihre verderbliche Wirkung fort auf die nächste und übernächste Generation, auf Ödipus, dessen hohes Glück mit der Selbstblendung und der Verfluchung der Söhne schmählich endigte, jetzt auf die Söhne des Ödipus, und mit den Fürsten leidet der Staat, wenn er nur nicht mit ihnen zugrunde geht". In ähnlicher Weise faßt der Chor- gesang Cho. 1063 ff. die Schicksale des Atridenhauses zusammen. Der Gesang wird vom Gesamtchor vorgetragen.
