But to me reproach coming from dreams has struck me, like a charioteer, with a middle-seizing goad. At my heart, at my liver there is present a grievous pain from a scourger, an hostile executioner, so that I have a very griev­ ous chill.

Wie Peitschenhiebe traf im Traum
aufstörend die Trägheit
Scheltrede mein Ohr.
Es drang mir die Schmach

tief in das Herz,

So schneidet des Büttels, des stäupenden, Geifsel.

ATHENA
Ye too farewell! Mine is it first to show
Your destined seats and thitherward to lead.
Escorted by the torchlight's sacred glow,
The while in sacrifice the victims bleed
960
The downward slope descend.
Whate'er is baneful to the land restrain,
And conquest's gracious ministry upsend
To this my city. Tutelary train,
Children of Cranaos, it belongs to you,
These alien settlers to their homes to guide;
And with my lieges may there aye abide,
Discernment rightful of the Right and True.

The sound of chiding scorn
Came from the land of dream;
Deep to mine inmost heart I felt it thrill and burn,
Thrust as a strong-grasped goad, to urge
180
Onward the chariot's team.
Thrilled, chilled with bitter inward pain
I stand as one beneath the doomsman's scourge.

Mir schlug ein vorwurfschweres Wort im Traum an's Ohr,

Und traf gleich dem Rosselenker mich
Mit machtvollem Stoß
Tief in die Brust, in's Mark.

Vom zornig grausen Geißelschlag.

150. νέος γραίας , simply young and old. This complaint that Apollo as one of the younger race has overridden the Furies who are elder goddesses constantly recurs through the play, 163, 731, 778, 838, 845; see Introduction. καθιππάζομαι, a bold picturesque word for trample down, so 731, 779.

151. τοκεῦσιν , generalising plural, to his mother, as the sense requires.

154. τῶνδε , your acts, insulting the old goddesses, and protecting the impious suppliant.

169. μάντις ὤν , i. e. ‘though a seer,' and thus the last who should have allowed pollution.
