Aeschylus Libation Bearers 827

Theodore Alois Buckley (Translator)

But do thou boldly, when thy share of the deed shall have come, after shouting thy father's name over a deed done for thy father's sake, in answer to her shrieking, “ My son !" consummate a vengeance not wholly blameless 2 .

And thou, when thy ſtern part is come, be bold;
Think how in blood thy father roll’d:
And when, “my son, my son," ſhe cries,
930
To melt thy manly mind with plaintive moan,
Then to her guilty ſoul recall
Thy murder’d father’s dying groan;
And to his angry vengeance let her fall:
Like Perſeus turn thy ruthless eyes c ;
935
Just to thy friends above, thy friends below,
Aim with applauded rage the destin’d wound;
Great in thy vengeance rush upon the foe,
And ſtrike the murd'rer bleeding to the ground,

e a lei che «figlio!» implora,
del genitore l'ultimo

And thou, O child, when Time and Chance agree,
Up to the deed that for thy sire is done!
And if she wail unto thee, Spare, O son—

Cry Aid, O father—and achieve the deed,
The horror of man's tongue, the gods' great need!

ὅστις κείραιτο: zu Ag. 625 . Elektra will den Gedanken des Chors auf Orestes lenken: „Ich allein könnte die Locke geweiht haben und thatsächlich gleicht die Locke meinen Haaren; da ich es nicht gethan habe, wie ihr wilst, muls man an Orestes denken.“ Vgl. Soph. Εl. 907 ἐξεπίσταμαι (Chrysothemis, welche die Locke gefunden hat, spricht) μή του τόδ' ἀγλάισμα πλὴν κείνου μολεῖν. τῷ γὰρ προσήκει πλήν γ᾽ ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ τόδε κἀγὼ μὲν οὐκ ἔδρασα, τοῦτ᾽ ἐπίσταμαι οὐδ᾽ αὖ σύ κτέ. und dazu Schol. τὸ μὲν ἀπὸ τῆς ὄψεως τοῦ βοστρύχου κινεῖσθαι ἐπὶ τὴν ἀλήθειαν γελοῖον· πιθανῶς οὖν ἐπάγει, ὅτι οὐδενὶ ἄλλῳ ἢ τῷ πάνυ συνημ μένῳ κατὰ γένος τὰ τοιαῦτα προσήκει.
