When now in Aulis’ rolling bay
His courſe the refluent floods refus’d,
And ſick’ning with inaction lay
In dead repoſe th’ exhauſted train,
Did the firm chief of chance complain?

No prophet he accus’d;
His eyes towards Chalcis bent he stood,
And ſilent mark’d the ſurging flood.

And then the elder chief, at whose command

The fleet of Greece was manned,
Cast on the seer no word of hate,

Did every store, each minish'd vessel, fail,

While all the Achæan host
At Aulis anchored lay,
Looking across to Chalcis and the coast
Where refluent waters welter, rock, and sway;

M. G. Bess. Marc. Ven. Ald. Rob. ut solent. Quoniam Achilles Tatius non habet hunc versum, Valckenarius ad Phoen, v. 506. eum ut ineptum damnavit: cui assensi sunt quum alii, tum Porsonus in Appendice ad Toup. p. 479. et in editione Aeschyli. Tuiti eum sumus, Heathius, ego in Opusc. II. p. 78. Petersenus in Misc. Hafn. I. p. 45. Conzius, Vossius in Curis Aeschyleis p. 14. Orellius in Symbolis ad philol. ex Helvetia I. p. 193. Nam nec Tatio magna fides habenda, cuius liber non est emendatissimus, et in ipso versu potius cur servetur, quam cur abiiciatur, videtur inesse. Omisso enim, ut recte dicat excubitor se signa quae anni tempestates afferant contemplari, tamen hoc loco rectius addet observare se quando occidant atque oriantur. Numerare enim dies et computare tempora solent, quibus molesta est diuturna exspectatio. Quaerendum vero est, qua ratione iungenda sint verba. Si subiectum est

Prolog. Man erblickt den Wächter auf dem Dache des Atridenpalastes liegend. - Der Prolog besteht in den drei Stücken dieser Trilogie aus einem Monologe, welcher gut motiviert erscheint, auch in den Eumeniden (vgl. zu 1). Einer ausführlicheren Exposition bedarf es hier nicht. Das aufregende Moment wird. 18 f. und 36 ff. von ferne angedeutet. Aus denselben Stellen ergiebt sich, dafs der immer wieder durchbrechende Unmut des treuen Dieners (34 f.) einen tieferen Grund hat. So erweckt schon der Prolog die der Tragödie entsprechende Stimmung. Für die Illusion beginnt die Handlung vor Tagesanbruch. Troja fiel um Mitternacht (Eur. Hek. 914 μεσονύκτιος ὠλλύμαν, wozu der Schol. den Vers der kleinen Ilias: νὺξ μὲν ἔην μέσση, λαμπρὰ δ᾽ ἐπέτελλε σελήνη anführt).

Der überflüssige Vers, der die vorausgehende Metapher prosaisch erklärt, giebt sich als nachträglicher Zusatz zu erkennen. Das demonstrative τῶν ist ohne rechte Beziehung und am Schlusse des Satzes schleppend. Der Daktylus kommt im ersten Fuſse gewöhnlich nur bei Eigennamen vor. Auch fehlt der V. in des Achill. Tat. Εἰσαγωγὴ εἰς τὰ ᾿Αράτου Φαινόμενα p. 122, wo 4-6 angeführt werden.
