O dark were the sorrows
That exile hath known!
1000
He slew, but returned not
Alive to his own!
He struck down a brother, but fell, in the moment of triumph hewn down!
O lineage accurst,
O doom and despair!
1005
Alas, for their quarrel,
The brothers that were!
And woe! for their pitiful end, who once were our love and our care!
O grievous the fate
That attends upon wrong!
1010
Stern ghost of our sire,
Thy vengeance is long!
Dark Fury of hell and of death, the hands of thy kingdom are strong!
By proof have ye learnt it!
At once and as one,
1015
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,
1020
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!
1025
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!

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.

ἰω δύστανε τῶν κακῶν (gen. relat.) für τω ἰὼ δυστάνων κακῶν um des Versmaßes willen. Die Bei- schrift Ετεόκλεις ἀρχηγέτα, welche im cod. Med. am Rande steht, entspricht nicht dem Sinne, da Antigone vielmehr den Polynikes beklagt.
