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 .

996. αἰσιμίαισι , ‘blessings,' from αἴσιμος, ‘right,' meet, good, lit. that which is one's share or lot, from aloa (strong form from ἴσος).

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.

vergleicht. Aber solches kann von Heroen, nicht von den athenischen Bürgern ausgesagt werden. Ικταρ ist wie πέλας etwa in πέλας βωμοῦ gebraucht und man hat an eine heilige Stätte des Zeus zu denken, etwa an den Bezirk, welcher durch die in einen Felsen des s. g. Nymphenhügels eingegrabene Inschrift ὅρος Διός angezeigt wird, oder an das Ὀλυμπιείον südöstlich von der Akropolis, wo eine uralte Verehrung des Zeus bestanden hat (marm. Par. Epoch. 4 Z. 7, Paus. I 18, 8 ). Am nächsten aber liegt der Kult des Zeus auf der Burg selbst, wo Altäre des Zevs Πολιεύς ( Paus. I 24, 4 ) und des Ζεὺς Ὕπατος sich befanden, von denen der letztere vor dem Eingang des Erechtheion stand (ebd. 26, 5) und als uralt bezeugt wird (ebd. VIII
