Libation Bearers, Alpheios version. Enhanced TEI with Syntax Diagrams
τῶνδ᾽ οὐ πάρεστι θάρσος , οὐδ᾽ ἔχω τί φῶ,
χέουσα τόνδε πέλανον ἐν τύμβῳ πατρός.
τοῦτο φάσκω τοὔπος , ὡς νόμος βροτοῖς,
ἔσθλ᾽ ἀντιδοῦναι τοῖσι πέμπουσιν τάδε
95
στέφη , δόσιν γε τῶν κακῶν ἐπαξίαν;
σῖγ᾽ ἀτίμως , ὥσπερ οὖν ἀπώλετο
πατήρ , τάδ᾽ ἐκχέασα , γάποτον χύσιν,
στείχω καθάρμαθ᾽ ὥς τις ἐκπέμψας πάλιν
δικοῦσα τεῦχος ἀστρόφοισιν ὄμμασιν;
100
τῆσδ᾽ ἐστὲ βουλῆς , φίλαι , μεταίτιαι:
κοινὸν γὰρ ἔχθος ἐν δόμοις νομίζομεν.
μὴ κεύθετ᾽ ἔνδον καρδίας φόβῳ τινός.
τὸ μόρσιμον γὰρ τόν τ᾽ ἐλεύθερον μένει
καὶ τὸν πρὸς ἄλλης δεσποτούμενον χερός.
105
λέγοις ἄν , εἴ τι τῶνδ᾽ ἔχοις ὑπέρτερον.
