To be thriving indeed, is by nature a glutless thing to all mortals; and none will banish and keep it from their dwelling that all point out 1
, saying these words,
" Enter here no more."
And to this our sovereign the blessed gods have granted to capture the city of Priam; and he returns to his home honoured by heaven. Yet if now he is to pay the price of the bloodshed of his predecessors, and dying for the dead accomplish to the full the vengeance 2
due for the deaths of others, who among mortals that hears this tale would not pray to be born with an innocuous genius 3

By nature man is form'd with boundless wiſhes
1495
For proſperous fortune; and the great man’s door
Stands ever open to that envied perſon,
On whom ſhe ſmiles: but enter not with words,
Like this poor ſufferer, of ſuch dreadful import.
His arms the pow’rs of Heav’n have grac’d with conqueſt;
1500
Troy’s proud walls lie in duſt; and he returns
Crown’d by the Gods with glory:
but if now
His blood must for the blood there ſhed atone o
,
If he must die for those that died, too dearly
1505
He buys his triumph. Who of mortal men
Hears this, and dares to think his state ſecure?

Nessun dei mortali è mai sazio

di beni: nessuno di quelli
cui gli uomini segnano a dito,
tener sa lontana dai tetti
novella fortuna, respingerla,
e dire: « Tu qui non entrar ».

Apollon, Heiland, wehe.
Da steht sie, diese Löwin, die dem Wolfe sich
gesellte, weil der edle Löwe ferne war.
1260 Mich ärmste wird sie töten; in den argen Trank,
den sie ihm braut, mischt sie für mich die Rache mit.
1335
Sie prahlt, da für den Gatten sie das Messer wetzt,
sein Blut bezahle, daß er mich hierher geführt.

Too true it is! our mortal state
With bliss is never satiate,
And none before the palace high
1535
And stately of prosperity
Cries to us with a voice of fear
Away! 'tis ill to enter here!
Lo! this our lord hath trodden down,
By grace of heaven, old Priam's town,
1540
And praised as god he stands once more
On Argos' shore!
Yet now—if blood shed long ago
Cries out that other blood shall flow,
His life-blood, his, to pay again
1545
The stern requital of the slain—
Peace to that braggart's vaunting vain,
Who, having heard the chieftain's tale,
Yet boasts of bliss untouched by bale!
[ A loud cry from within.

Kein Sterblicher fühlt an des Glückes Genuß
1280
Sich jemals satt: von dem reichen Palast,
Dem gepriesenen, weist Niemand es zurück,
„Tritt nicht mehr ein!" ihm gebietend.
Dem Atriden verlieh der Unsterblichen Huld,
Daß er Troja bezwang,
1285
Und zur Heimat kam, von den Göttern geehrt.
Doch wenn er jego der Ahnherrn Blut
Abbüßt, und mit Tod der Gemordeten Tod
Austilgt, um die Todten zu sühnen :
Wer rühmte sich noch, wenn er solches vernahm,
1290
Zu harmlosem Glücke geboren?

τοὺς ἐμοὺς τιμαόρους ἐχθροῖς φονεῦσι τοῖς ἐμοῖς τίνειν ὁμοῦ, δούλης θανούσης, εὐμαροῦς χειρώματος
. Planior etiam et elegantior esset constructio, si interpunctiones omisisset. Scholefieldius Pearsoni coniecturam recepit,
τοῖς ἐμοῖς τιμαόροις ἐχθροὺς φονεῦσι τοὺς ἐμοὺς τίνειν ὁμοῦ, δούλης θανούσης, εὐμάρους χειρώματος
. Ita interpretatur ut simul inimici mei solvant poenas ultoribus meis occidentibus eos. Sed id nemo non videt quam durum sit et inscite dictum. Mihi aliter iudicandum videtur. Intelligi quidem possunt quae hic scripta habemus, si ex
φονεῦσι

, quamquam apertior esset constructio
σφ'
ante
ὁμοῦ
inserto, hoc sensu, precor, ut ultoribus meis, qui inimici sunt meis occisoribus, hi simul luant pro servae facili caede. Sed sententia illa habet quo displiceat. Nam sic
ὁμοῦ
vix potest aliter accipi, quam ut simul cum caede Agamemnonis etiam Cassandrae illi interfectionem luant. At id, si propter Agamemnonem punientur, sponte consequetur: ut ineptum sit Cassandram, quum iam introitura erat, rursum se convertere ad chorum et, quasi magnum quid et memorabile dictura esset, proferre quod dici non erat operae pretium. Immo aliud, opinor, in mente habebat summus poeta: fatidicam virginem, quod paullo ante obscurius significaverat, id nunc eam gravius, atque ita uti eventurum atque in proxima fabula appariturum erat, praedicere volebat: id erat autem, precari Cassandram ut ambo, Clytaemnestra atque Aegisthus, una eodem capti dolo ab Oreste et Electra occiderentur. Quare non dubito quin versus exciderit, in cuius fine erat
ὁμοῦ
, quod librarii, omisso per errorem eo versu, transtulerunt in finem proximi versus, ubi scriptum erat simile vocabulum
ἐμοῦ
. Neque vero suos ultores recte diceret Cassandra: non enim ipsam, sed Agamemnonem vindicaturi venient. Quare illud
τοῖς ἐμοῖς τιμαόροις
ortum esse videtur ex eo quod mox in eodem versus loco sequitur
τοῖς ἐμοῖς
, ab Aeschylo autem haec tali fere modo scripta esse puto,
ἡλίῳ δ' ἐπεύχομαι πρὸς ὕστατον φῶς, βασιλέως τιμαόρους ἴσας δίκας φανέντας ἀσκεύοις ὁμοῦ ἐχθροῖς φονεῦσι τοῖς ἐμοῖς τίνειν ἐμοῦ δούλης θανούσης εὐμαροῦς χειρώματος.
