mvp-comment-312-2 viertes Epeisodion: Vor dem neu eingesetzten Gerichtshof, dem Athena als ἡγεμών und εἰσαγωγεύς vorsteht (583), bringen die Erinyen ihre Anklage vor, Apollon legt Zeugnis ab und tritt den Erinyen als Vertreter der Sache des Orestes, die zugleich seine eigene ist, entgegen. Darauf fällen die Areopagiten das Urteil. Athena tritt rechts auf. Ein Herold und ein Trompetenbläser schreiten voraus, Bürger von Athen folgen ihr. κήρυσσε scil. σίγα ( Eur. Phoen. 1224

mvp-comment-357-2 Für vergossenes Blut giebt es keine Sühne, während in allem andern Vater Zeus die Sache nicht so genau nimmt und sich nicht sonderlich ereifert. Cetera vero omnia Iupiter constituit, sursum deorsum volvens, h. e. modo sic, modo aliter dirigens (Schütz). Vgl. auch zu 532 f. Wie dort ἄλλο ἄλλα ἐφορεύει, steht hier ἄνω τε καὶ κάτω στρέφων τίθησιν. οὐδὲν.. μένει, keineswegs infolge von Zornmut schnaubend d. i. nicht über die Mafsen aufgebracht und unversöhnlich.

ἂν λύσειεν , quite general, fetters may be loosed: not Zeus only, but anyone, may loose them.

mvp-sidgwick-295-1-1 For this sentiment, the keynote of the three plays, see l. 261

. 1 Hartung, Wakefield, Burgess rewrite the passage: Paley reads ἅμ' αἴνοις for ἄμεινον, harsh in itself, and leaving ἠμποληκότα untranslateable; Bothe and Butler ἢ φράσαι for εὔφροσιν, ingenious, but rather too strong: H. Schütz, Linwood, Rauchenstein suppose a lacuna. Wellauer says procul dubio corrupta. Weckl. also leaves a lacuna. It strikes a modern reader as a grotesque defence of Zeus for his unfilial act, to say Fetters can be undone.

ἐπῳδάς . So Ag. 1019,

The black blood once fallen on the earth who can call back with charms?
