Castor of Clytemnestra Polydeuces Helen

P. 1, l.  1.]--the Overseer, as more characters in Greek tragedy it comes
from the Homeric tradition, although in Homer (Or. iv. 524) he is only a
servant of Aigisthos.

P. 2, l.  28, the to whine of triumph of women.]--This to whine some women goes again a lot
times in the play:  cf.  p. 26, ll. 587 ff., p. 55, l.  1234. It is
conventionally represented from "ololu"; as to whine to Apollo, Paian is,
"I-and", l.  146, and the hiccup of Cassandra is "ototoi" or "otototoi", p. 47.

Pp. 3 fs., ll. 40 ff.]--With this silent scene of Clytemnestra, comparison
the long silence of Cassandra under, and the silence of Prometheus in that
games until its tormentors have left him. Sees the criticism of Aeschylus in
Aristophanes, _Frogs_, ll. 911-920, pp.  68, 69 in my translation.

P. 5, l.  104, signal of the War-way.]--i.e. a signal of malaugurio seen by the army
as it started on his/her trip. In Homer, Iliad, ll. 305-329, are a snake
what he/she eats the nine youth of a bird of mother and then his/her mother, and it is
turned later into stone.--Everything through this choir the language of the
it prophesies Calchas it is intentionally dark and speaking for enigmas--the style of
prophecy.

P. 7, l.  146, but I-and, the-and.]--(Pronunci _Ee-ay_.) Calchas, approves contagious
in his/her vision of the further consequences that will demand Artemis if her
it carries out the signal, he/she calls on Apollo Paian, the Healer, to check her/it.

P. 7, l.  160, Zeus the whate'er He is.]--This conception of Zeus is express
also in Aeschylus _Suppliant Women_, and you/he/she was probably developed in the
Trilogy of Prometheus. Sees my _Rise of the Greek Epic_ p. 291 (and. 2).
