Commentary

Commentary on Aeschylus: Eumenides (Aeschylus. Eumenides. Sidgwick, Arthur, editor. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1887.)

929. κατανασσαμένη , middle, housing in my city. 11. 932, 933. The MSS. read

ὁ δὲ μὴ κύρσας βαρέων τούτων
οὐκ οἶδεν ὅθεν πληγαὶ βιότου.
Now τούτων here must refer to the Furies, as αὗται above and τάσδε below: and consequently βαρέων must be wrong, as (1) it is the wrong gender: (2) even if we suppose (with D.) a fem. form βαρεῶν, it clearly is the wrong sense. What Aeschylus means to say is, He who incurs the wrath of the Furies meets with unexpected calamity: the sins of his fathers bring him into their power.

964. ἐπιβριθής , lit. weighing down upon, falling heavily on: i. e. grievous .

1034. παῖδες ἄπαιδες , the MSS. reading, could hardly mean childless children, which seems pointless: it might mean evil children, like vᾶes ἄναες: but the real objection to any such word as ἄπαιδες is that here the words in which the Chorus are addressed are specially reverent and honourable. It is best to reject it and then we get rid also of τύχᾳ τε, meaningless and unmetrical, at the end of 1. 1037.

1036. ὠγυγίοισιν , a strange word of obscure origin, meaning ancient.

. Ea emendatione, ut simplicissima, recepta, scripsi
τιμαῖς καὶ θυσίαις περίσεπτα τυχοῦσαι
. Sed incerta est huius versus emendatio. Possunt enim multa alia excogitari. Quod in Opusc. VI. 2. p. 125. scribendum conieci
περσέπτορε τύχα τε
, servato in strophico versu
ὑπ᾽ εὐθύφρονι πομπᾷ
, dactylico-que numero ad paeonicum progrediente, prorsus intolerabile visum est Schoemanno. Sed quum saepius tamquam insigne quid commemorentur ardentes faces (v. 987. 1004. 1011. 1021. 1024.), hic quoque ignium honoris, cuius compotes factae sunt Eumenides, aptissime fieret mentio. Ipse Schoemannus scribendum putavit
τιμαῖς καὶ θυσίαις τε καὶ εὐχαῖς περίσεπται
. Verum Aeschylus dixisset, puto,
περίσεπτοι
, neque
τε καί
posuisset. Melius scriberetur
τιμαῖς καὶ θυσίαις περισέπτοις τε σὺν εὐχαῖς
, aut
πυρισέπτοις τε τύχαισιν
.
