To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The father's curses to fulfil.
Dreadful she comes, and with her brings The brood of fate, that laps the blood of kings.
122 jESCHYLUS.
The rude barbarian, from the mines Of Sc}i;hia, o'er the lots presides ; Ruthless to each his share assigns, And the contested realm divides. To each allots no wider a domain, Than on the cold earth, as they lie. Their breathless bodies occupy, Eegardless of an ampler reign.
Such narrow compass does the sword, A cruel umpire, their high claims afford.
Conflictin...g thus in furious mood.
Should each by other's hand be slain, Should the black fountain of their blood Spout forth and drench the thirsty plain ; Who shall the solemn expiation pay?
Who with pure lavers cleanse the dead?
Miseries to miseries thus succeed, ' And vengeance marks this house her prey, Swift to chastise the first ill deed ; And the sons' sons in her deep fury bleed.
The first ill deed from Laius sprung ; Thrice from his shrine these words of fate Awful the Pytliian Phoebus sung, * Die childless, wouldst thou save the state.
