By proof have ye learnt it!
At once and as one,

O brothers belovèd,
To death ye were done!
Ye came to the strife of the sword, and behold! ye are both overthrown!
O grievous the tale is,
And grievous their fall,

To the house, to the land,
And to me above all!
Ah God! for the curse that hath come, the sin and the ruin withal!
O children distraught,
Who in madness have died!

Shall ye rest with old kings
In the place of their pride?
Alas for the wrath of your sire if he findeth you laid by his side!

In eo personas invertunt Vit. Lips. Rob. Lineolas, ut solet, habet M. Nihil est in iis, quae praecedunt, quod magis de tristi mortuorum adspectu, quam de malis, quibus quum civitatem, tum gentem illi suam affecerunt, cogitari iubeat. Quare si deesset iste versus, tantum abest, ut eum quisquam desideraturus sit, ut melius etiam impii belli commemorationem statim exceptura essent illa

. Quod vero longe gravissimum est argumentum, quum eadem illa verba bis in hoc carmine inveniantur, fieri non potuit, ut aliter quam locis lege antistrophica sibi respondentibus collocarentur. Itaque aut neutro eorum locorum, in quibus nunc sunt, iustam sedem habent, aut alterutro certe loco cedant necesse est. Et quum hic non sint apta, aptissime autem post v. 967. posita sint, quumque versus 968. 969. nihil habeant quod eis in antistropha respondeat, et quum denique ei loco, qui illis versibus respondet, eadem verba pulcherrime conveniant, quis dubitabit quin e suo loco in alienum migrarint? Itaque haec Antigonae et Ismenae verba hinc sustuli et post v. 951. collocavi. Accedit quod haec eorundem verborum repetitio viam parat ad repetitionem ephymnii quod utroque loco sequitur.

θρῆνος der Antigone und Ismene. Antigone steht an der Leiche des Polynikes, Ismene an der des Eteokles. Der Gesang besteht aus vier Teilen; im ersten und dritten entspricht immer die Partie der Ismene der Partie der Antigone, im zweiten Teile besteht außer dieser Responsion noch die Responsion eines größeren Strophen- paares, das mit einem Ephymnion der beiden Schwestern schließt; im letzten Teile entsprechen sich zwei Verse, die wieder von Antigone und Ismene gemeinsam gesungen werden, und zwei Verse, von denen der eine der Antigone, der andere der Ismene gehört. Eine ähnliche Gestalt der Responsion findet sich nur noch Eur. Androm. 1197 ff.

Der Text hat, wie das Versmaß zeigt, gelitten. Vielleicht ΑΝ. διερὰ κήδε' ὁμαίμονα ( ὁμαί- μονα C. G. Haupt). ΙΣ. τρίπολα πήματα τλαμόνων: „, Tränenfeuchte Trauer um Blutsverwandte. Immer wieder beklagtes Weh der Unglücklichen". Sowohl δύστονα wie δίυγρα könnte Glossem διερά sein, vgl. τὸ διερόν ( αίμα) Eum. 263, διεροις μέλεσιν Aristoph. δ. 213. Ζη τρίπολα (eig. drei- mal gepflügt") vgl. Soph. Ant. 858 πατρὸς τριπόλιστον οἶκτον, Phil. 1238 δις ταὐτὰ βούλει καὶ τρὶς ἀναπολεῖν μὲ ἔπη. Hermann schreibt δίπονα für δύστονα und δίυγρα πήματα παλμάτων.
