For the execrations, that were uttered long ago, are finding their accomplishment: bitter is the settlement, and deadly things in their consummation pass not away. The wealth of enterprising merchants , too thickly stowed, brings with it a casting overboard from the stern.

Where now the chief? His glories where?
Fall'n, fall'n. From the polluted bed
885
Indignant madness, wild deſpair,
And agonizing grief ſucceed.
The light of Heav'n, himſelf, his ſons abhor'd,
Darkling he feeds his gloomy rage,
Bids them, with many' a curſe, engage,
890
And part their empire with the ſword.
That curſe now holds its unmov'd ſtate,
The furious fiend charg'd with the work of fate.

Esito avran per essi le molteplici

Curses, inherited from long ago,
Bring heavy freight of woe:
Rich stores of merchandise o'erload the deck,
Near, nearer comes the wreck—
And all is lost, cast out upon the wave,

Floating, with none to save!

Denn, ach! jetzt reift der altverhängte Fluch,
Ja, graunvoll erfüllt er sich:

Der Sturm, der aufsteigt, zieht nicht spurlos hin.
Vom Bord hinab versinkt das Glück
Der erfindsamen Menschen,
Wenn es zu sehr sich häufte.
Vierte Gegenstrophe.

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.
