In this curs'd land to ſpend my ſlighted age,
And my loſt honours mourn in vain?
No: be each vengeful thought inflam'd with

Ah me, the keen, the mad'ning ſmart!
Deep, deep it cuts, it rends my heart.
Hear, aweful night, my raving paſſion hear!
Theſe Gods, with a malignant ſmile,
1005
Ah me! my baffled pow'r beguile,
And from my brows the public honours tear.

Mir das!
Ha, mir,
mir, der alten,
der Macht der Urzeit!
Drunten ins Dunkel ducken

Wut schnaub' ich, wehe,
Grimm und Groll.
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Was wollen die Schmerzen?
Die Flamme der Wut
880 verbrennt mir das Herz.
Mutter, vernimm mich,
Mutter Nacht:
mein Recht,
mein Urrecht haben die Ränke
der jungen Götter verworfen,
vernichtet.

I, I dishonoured in this earth to dwell,—
Ancient of days and wisdom! I breathe forth
Poison and breath of frenzied ire. O Earth,
Woe, woe for thee, for me!

From side to side what pains be these that thrill?
Hearken, O mother Night, my wrath, mine agony!
Whom from mine ancient rights the gods have thrust,
And brought me to the dust—
Woe, woe is me!—with craft invincible.

mvp-comment-251-1 τί δεῖ λέγειν] The meaning is, but I need not invoke the aid of Zeus in forcing you to yield, since I would rather appeal to you as the goddess of wisdom and eloquence.'

Wecklein’s commentary on Eumenides (1888; German; OCR draft) (Explanatory commentary, pp. 251–322; HW42J8 and HXJHA8 OCR collated, with missing comparison pages 294–295 explicitly marked. Unresolved OCR and provisional reference mappings are explicitly marked.) focus

mvp-comment-428-1 Wecklein 1888, p. 306

mvp-comment-428-2 Kommos, Aussöhnung der gekränkten und tief ergrimmten Erinyen durch die begütigenden Worte der Athena. Der Chor singt zwei Strophen, die er als Antistrophen wiederholt. Jeder Strophe und Antistrophe folgen 13 Verse der Athena, wornach die Partie mit 12 Versen Stichomythie und 12 Versen einer ῥῆσις der Athena abgeschlossen wird. Vgl. zu Ag. 1435 .

mvp-comment-443-1 Wecklein 1888, p. 309

mvp-comment-443-2 Auch ich könnte drohen; denn Zeus würde auf meine Bitte euch mit dem Wetterstrahle treffen und ich könnte sogar selbst den Blitz schleudern. Mit καὶ .. λέγειν giebt man an, dafs man et was nicht zu sagen braucht oder nicht sagen mag. Vgl. Ag. 603 , Plat. Symp. p.217 0 συνεγυμνάζετο οὖν μοι καὶ προσεπάλαιε πολλάκις οὐδενὸς παρόντος· καὶ τί δεῖ λέγειν; οὐδὲν γάρ μοι πλέον ἦν. Die Worte beziehen sich auf das Folgende, wie wenn es hiefse καὶ καὶ τί δεῖ λέγειν κλῇδας οἶδα. Vgl. zu Cho. 572 .

mvp-sidgwick-388-1-1 The Chorus had called on justice: Athena replies I too have trust in Zeus: though her appeal is rather to threat of force.
