Suppliant Maidens and Other Plays

Aeschylus

Capitolo 53

  Wives, children, times of of the ancestral ones,
  Your fathers' graves! now it is all to stake_.
  Then from our side it inflated on the mixed noise
  Of Persian languages, and time didn't bear delay--
  You send in drave of the ship I last his/her similar beak to brass
  With speed of thought, a hit that smashes! and before
  A Greek barking dipped right and sheared street
  Bowsprit and stem of a Phoenician ship.
  And then every helmet on the other bow
  Come collapsing in.  A few our brook of ships
  Kept before, you cultivate inside the stream of narrowing
  Our vases of cram were driven together,
  And nobody could help another:  each on each

  And every keel of our innkeeper of barbarian
  Hasty to run away, in absolute confusion.
  Thereon that the enemy has closed on the castaways
  And it cut and it cut, with oars and it splintered aces,
  How fishermen cut tunnies or a throw
  Of dolphins taken with the net and the salty sea
  Encircled with the cries and cries to die men,
  Until the dark aspect of the night it hid the scene.
  It had me a the time of ten days to add that account
  Of slaughter, 'the twere too little! knows well this--
  A ne'er of the day they saw such innumerable forms of death!

MESSENGER

  Is insured well, the history starts but--
  The further agony that on us the skin
  Doth wins twice the sufferings that I have said!

ATOSSA

  No, that disaster could be worse of this?
  Say on! what pain on the army came,
  The staircase rippling to an anchor the further fall?

MESSENGER

  The very floral one and crown of the run of Persia,
