We may say too of these happy men that they both wrought many mischiefs to their countrymen, and to the ranks of all the strangers, that perished in great numbers in battle.
Fraternal in very truth! and utterly undone were they by a severing in no wise amicable, by phrenzied strife at the consummation of their feud.

Pierc'd with steel each finds his end:
1020
Pierc'd with steel they haste t' attend
Their fathers, by like bloody death,
In the yawning grave beneath.
Grief, that rends the tortur'd breast,
Deep with real woes possest,
1025
Tears fast streaming from her eyes
From the haunts of pleasure flies,
Anguish, misery all her own,
Sadly pours the hollow groan;
Whilft the ruin'd palace round
1030
Echo answers to the sound;
And, each frightful pause between,
From her airy shell unseen,
Listens to the funeral strain,
Wailing the unhappy slain;
1035
Wailing all the dreadful woes
That from madding discord rose;
Many' a friend among the dead,
Whilst the hostile legions bleed.

Onde a me, che lamento i miei due principi,
ogni forza vien meno.
Eran fratelli! E pel dissidio infesto
1030
e per la furia dissennata, giunsero,
nell'urto ultimo, a termine funesto.
Or tregua ebbe la lite.
Commiste nella polvere,
di sangue intrisa, vedi ambe le vite.
1035
Or consanguinee son!
Disciolse i nodo
de le liti fra lor l'ospite Càlibo
temprato al fuoco, in questo amaro modo:
le sciolse il ferro. Con amare mani
1040
Marte partiva i beni: i voti d'Edipo
non volle, il tristo, che cadesser vani.

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!
945
Yea, from one seed they sprang, and by one fate
Their heritage is desolate,
The heart's division sundered claim from claim,
And, from their feud, death came!
Now is their hate allayed,
950
Now is their life-stream shed,
Ensanguining the earth with crimson dye—
Lo, from one blood they sprang, and in one blood they lie!
A grievous arbiter was given the twain—
The stranger from the northern main,
955
The sharp, dividing sword,
Fresh from the forge and fire
The War-god treacherous gave ill award
And brought their father's curse to a fulfilment dire!

Wohl darf ich anklagen diese Armen;
Sie häuften viel Jammers auf die Bürger
Und auf des Feinds ganzes Heer,
885
Das Schaar um Schaar sank im Streit.
Ja Bruderhand, liebelos zerfleischend, gab
Ihnen graunvollen Tod
Im wildlodernden Zwift:
895
Also zerrann die Zwietracht!

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.

In der Lücke ist das verb. fin. verloren gegangen (etwa ἐπέσετε μέλεοι).
