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.

1040. εὐθύφρονες , ‘righteously minded,' something like the Homeric αἴσιμα εἰδώς, which is also used of persons well disposed. [Of the suggested alterations Hartung's εὔφρονες ἀστοῖς is the best: but there is no need to alter.]

εὐθύφρονες , righteously minded, something like the Homeric αἴσιμα εἰδώς, which is also used of persons well disposed. [Of the suggested alterations Hartung's εὔφρονες ἀστοῖς is the best: but there is no need to alter.]

mvp-sidgwick-473-1-1 Hermann's ξύν is wanted for sense as well as metre: else it would mean rejoicing in the torch, which is a much poorer meaning.

mvp-sidgwick-474-1-1 This line is thoroughly corrupt and it is hopeless to attempt to restore it with any confidence: I take Linwood's conjecture (adopted by H. P. and others), which is ingenious enough: Hermann translates, Let Peace follow with the light of the torch : or σπονδαί may be quite simply 'libations, the natural sign of reconciliation and joy.
