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 .

1010. πολισσοῦχοι , see note on 1. 775.

1011. μετοίκοις , ‘newcomers;' the μέτοικοι at Athens being the resident aliens, the word is admirably fit for the Eumenides who were foes, but are newly settled at Athens as friendly powers. Κραναός: the word means rocky and was a favourite name of Athens, Κραναὰ πόλις or Κρανααί, from Pindar's time down (Ol. 7. 151): here it denotes a mythical king or founder, naturally derived from the common title.

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.

Ach. 75 ὦ Κραναὰ πόλις, Lys. 480 τὴν Κραναάν, Vö. 123 μείζω τῶν Κραναῶν ζητεῖς πόλιν; Man bezieht wohl mit Recht das Epitheton κραναή auf die felsigen Hügel, auf denen die ersten Bewohner des Landes (die Pelasger) sich ansiedelten, die deshalb den Namen Κραναοί erhielten.
