And pouring to the ground her vestments of saffron dye, she smote each of her sacrificers with a piteous glance from her eye, and remarkable in her beauty as in a picture , wishing to speak; since oft times in the hospitable halls of her father she was wont to sing, and undeflowered in maidenhood, to do honour with fond respect by her voice to the life of her father happy to a third libation 1

Bade them, as with the bit that mutely tames the steed,
Her fair lips' speech refrain,
Lest she should speak a curse on Atreus' home and seed.
So, trailing on the earth her robe of saffron dye,
With one last piteous dart from her beseeching eye
285
Those that should, smite she smote—
Fair, silent, as a pictur'd form, but fain
To plead Is all for got?
How oft those halls of old,
Wherein my sire high feast did hold,
290
Rang to the virginal soft strain,
When I, a stainless child,
Sang from pure lips and undefiled,
Sang of my sire, and all
His honoured life, and how on him should fall

ἀταύρωτος
interpretatur
ἄζευκτος, παρθενική
. Hesychius
ἀταύρωτος, ἄζυγος, καὶ παρθένος, παρ᾽ ὅσον ἐξεῖχθαι γάμοις αἱ γεγαμημέναι λέγονται
. Vide etiam Eustathium p. 259, 9. 1554, 28. et Valckenarium animadv. ad Ammonium p. 40. seq. Non negaverim hoc significatu potuisse hanc vocem ab aliquo tragico usurpari. Sic Aeschylus infra v. 1054.
ἄπεχε τῆς βοὸς τὸν ταῦρον
, et Horatius
nondum subacta ferre iugum valet cervice, nec tauri ruentis in Venerem tolerare pondus
. Eiusmodi locum in mente habuisse videtur Aristophanes in Lysistrata v. 217. quem versum afferens Suidas scripsit
σταυρώτη, ἀντὶ τοῦ ἁγνὴ καὶ ἄμικτος. ταῦρος γὰρ τὸ αἰδοῖον τοῦ ἀνδρός, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἀταυρώτη ἡ ἁγνὴ ἢ ἄζευκτος γάμου καὶ ἀζυγής
: quam obscenam explicationem mirum est probare potuisse Blomfieldium. Idem Suidas mox addit
ἐπειδὴ οἱ ταῦροι κατωφερεῖς· “οἴκοι δ᾽ ἀταυρώτη διάξω τὸν βίον.”
Ab Aeschyli loco haec significatio tam aliena est quam quod maxime. Quid enim attinebat hic virginem incorruptam vocari Iphigeniam? Immo
ἀταύρωτος
est non efferata. Hoc enim dicit poeta, puellam, non indignatam quod immolaretur, pio silentio honorasse sortem patris, faustam futuram per hoc sacrificium. Euripides Med. v. 91.
ἤδη γὰρ εἶδον ὄμμα νιν ταυρουμένην τοῖςδ'
. Et v. 190.
καίτοι τοκάδος δέργμα λεαίνης ἀποταυροῦται δμωσίν
. Eodem pertinent haec in Herc. fur. v. 867.
καὶ διαστρόφους ἑλίσσει σίγα γοργώπους κόρας, ἀμπνοὰς δ᾽ οὐ σωφρονίζει, ταῦρος ὡς ἐς ἐμβολήν, δεινὰ μυᾶται δέ
. Recte vero Schützius
ἁγνᾷ αὐδᾷ
, quod eodem modo dictum quo
τὸ τῆς εὐφήμου στόμα φροντίδος ἱέντες
apud Sophoclem Oed. Col. v. 131. Τριτόσπονδον autem
αἰῶνα
quum dicit, de quibus verbis videndum Blomfieldii glossarium, ad libationem respicit Iovi Servatori factam, qui scilicet servaturus sit classem adversis ventis ab destinato cursu prohibitam.

Turn. Dicit hoc universe, non vana est ars Calchantis. Respicit enim quae supra commemoraverat v. 126. seqq. non ex omni parte prospere successuram esse expeditionem, quumque modo de impio facto Agamemnonis dixisset, simul ex hoc aliquid mali nasciturum praesagit.

Bess. Flor. et sic etiam Farn.
ἐπεὶ γένοιτ' ἂν ἡ λύσις προχαιρέτω
Turn. Vict. Triclinius, cuius recensionem codex Farn. exhibet, videtur haec sic constituisse,
τὸ μέλλον, ἐπεὶ γένοιτ', ἂν κλύοις
. Aurati coniectura est
ἤλυσις
, in quam Schutzius quoque incidit. Elmsleius quum
τὸ δὲ προκλύειν
in Farn. omissum videret, non satis caute
τὸ προκλύειν
ab interprete adiectum esse iudicavit, quod verbum minime redolet interpretem, aperteque ad haec verba refertur quod sequitur
ἴσον δὲ τὸ προστένειν
. Secutus eum tamen Blomfieldius exhibuit
δίκα δὲ τοῖς μὲν παθοῦσιν μαθεῖν ἐπιρρέπει· τὸ μέλλον δ᾽ ἐπεὶ οὐ γένοιτ' ἂν λύσις, προχαιρέτω
, atque
ἐπεὶ οὐ γένοιτ' ἂν ἡ λύσις
iam alii coniecerant. Sed haec, sive numeros, sive sententiam spectes, non habent quo commendentur. Ad sensum quidem reprehendi non potest
τὸ προκλύειν δ᾽, ἐπεὶ γένοιτ' ἂν ἤλυσις, προχαιρέτω
: sed ita si legitur, debet aliquid omissum ab librariis in strophicis putari, in quibus tamen nulla est omissionis suspicio. Ego non dubitavi reponere, quod in adnotationibus ad Humboldti versionem conieci,
τὸ προκλύειν δ᾽ ἤλυσιν προχαιρέτω.
Nam illud potius
ἐπεὶ γένοιτ' ἂν ἤλυσις
ab interprete adscriptum fuerat.

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.

Ist einmal in der leidenschaftlichen Verrücktheit der Anfang der geistigen Schädigung ( πῆμα, ἄτη) gegeben ( παρακοπὴ πρωτοπήμων, vgl. 1191), so wird daraus verwegener und rücksichtsloser Frevelmut. Vgl. 396 τάλαινα πειθώ, προβούλου παῖς ἄφερτος ἄτας.
