vigueur qu'un enfant, il erre ainsi qu'un songe apparu en plein jour.

A toi de parler, fille de Tyndare, reine Clytemnestre : qu'y a-t-il ? qu'as-tu donc appris ? sur la foi de quel message tes ordres vont-ils partout provoquer des sacrifices ?

Tous les dieux de la ville, dieux du ciel et des enfers, dieux de la maison et de la place publique 1 , voient leurs autels chargés de tes dons.

Et, de tous côtés, jaillit jusqu'au ciel, au stimulant appel d'une huile sainte dont la douceur n'est pas trompeuse 2 , la flamme des offrandes royales tirées du fond du palais.

De tout cela daigne me dire ce qu'il m'est possible et permis d'apprendre, et guéris mon âme anxieuse, qui

AGAMEMNON
speaking from the chariot.
First Argos and her tutelary gods,
Who with me wrought to compass my return,
And visit Priam's town with vengeance due,
Justly I hail. For in this cause the gods,
Swayed by no hearsay, in the bloody urn
Without dissentient voice the pebbles cast,
Sealing the doom of Ilion and her sons.
But to the rival urn, by no hand filled,
Hope only came. Smoke still uprising marks
The captured city ; Atè's incense-fires
Are living still, but, dying as they die,
The ash sends upward costly fumes of wealth.
Wherefore 'tis meet to render to the gods
Memorial thanks; since round them we have east
Our vengeful toils, and in a woman's cause
The Argive monster, offspring of the horse,
Host shield-accoutred, made its deadly leap,
And Priam's city levelled to the dust,
What time the Pleiades in ocean waned;
So, bounding o'er the towers, of princely blood
The raw-devouring lion lapped his fill.
This lengthened prelude to the gods! and now
Weighing the judgment ye erewhile expressed,
I say the same, and am with you agreed.
To few is it congenial, envy-free,
To venerate the friend whom Fortune crowns.
The jealous poison, lodged within the heart,
Tortures with twofold pang whom it infects ;
By his own griefs oppressed, the envious man
Groans also to behold another's joy.
Out of my proof I speak, for, well I wot,
Who friendship most pretended, only were
Its mirrored image, shadow of a shade.
None but Odysseus, who unwilling sailed,
Once harnessed, was my trusty yoke-fellow;
This I affirm, be he alive or dead.
But for the rest, what to the state pertains,
And to the gods, a full assembly called,
We'll weigh in free debate. Counsel we need.
That where the state is sound, we keep it so;
But where disease the healer's art requires,
By kind excision, or by cautery,
We shall attempt to remedy the harm.
Now to my palace and my household hearth
Returning, first will I the gods salute,
Who forward sped me, and who lead me home;
Since victory so far hath followed me,
Here may she henceforth stedfastly abide!

But thou, O child of Tyndareus,
Queen Clytemnestra, speak! and say
What messenger of joy to-day
Hath won thine ear? what welcome news,
That thus in sacrificial wise
115
E'en to the city's boundaries
Thou biddest altar-fires arise?
Each god who doth our city guard,
And keeps o'er Argos watch and ward
From heaven above, from earth below—
120
The mighty lords who rule the skies,
The market's lesser deities,
To each and all the altars glow,
Piled for the sacrifice!
And here and there, anear, afar,
125
Streams skyward many a beacon-star,
Conjur'd and charm'd and kindled well
By pure oil's soft and guileless spell,
Hid now no more
Within the palace' secret store.
130
O queen, we pray thee, whatsoe'er,
Known unto thee, were well revealed,
That thou wilt trust it to our ear,
And bid our anxious heart be healed!
That waneth now unto despair—
135
Now, waxing to a presage fair,
Dawns from the altar Hope—to scare
From our rent hearts the vulture Care.

Auf, Tyndaros' Kind,
O Königin, sprich, Klytämnestra: was ist's?
Was Neues geschah? Was vernahm dein Ohr?
Auf welches Gerücht
85
Dich stützend, erregst du die Opfer umher? 1
Denn den Göttern gesammt, den Behütern der Stadt
Und der Tiefen und Höh'n
Und des Markts und Olymps, flammt jeder Altar
Von duftenden Opfergeschenken.
90
Und von hier und von dort, zu dem Himmel empor,
Wallt leuchtende Glut,
Balsamisch getränkt mit des heiligen Oels
Süßathmendem, lauterem, labendem Born,
Mit der Spende vom Königeshause.
95
So sage mir denn, was du kundthun darfst
Und zu melden vermagst,
Und wehre der Angst und banne die Qual,
Die jetzt das Gemüth uns feindlich befällt;
Doch strahlt auch ein freudiges Hoffen mir auf
100
Von den Opfern und stillt das unendliche Leid,
Die verzehrende Trauer im Busen.

Parodos, bestehend (wie die Parodos der Perser und der Hiketides) aus drei Teilen, dem Recitativ des Chorführers in Anapästen 40-103, dem Gesang des Chorführers mit ἐπιφθέγματα (124) des Gesamtchores 104-169, dem Chorgesang 170-269. Der erste Teil beginnt mit der Schuld und Sühne der Trojaner, legt die äufseren Verhältnisse dar und giebt mit dem Verlangen zu erfahren, was die überall auf den Altären der Stadt angezündeten Opferfeuer zu bedeuten haben (83-87) die Motivierung für das Auftreten des Chors. Der zweite Teil berichtet eine Weissagung des Kalchas, welche ängstliche Besorgnis in betreff des Heerführers weckt. Der dritte begründet diese Besorgnis mit sittlichen Grundsätzen und erklärt das Leiden, das den siegreichen Agamemnon erwartet, als Sühne für eine Schuld, für die unerhörte Opferung der eigenen Tochter.
