The Complaint Of Prometheus

PROMETHEUS (alone)

O holy Aether, and swift-winged Winds,

And River-wells, and laughter innumerous

Of yon Sea-waves! Earth, mother of us all,

And all-viewing cyclic Sun, I cry on you,--

Behold me a god, what I endure from gods!

Behold, with throe on throe,

How, wasted by this woe,

Aeschylus Aeschylus

The Lament Of The Old Nurse

NURSE

Our mistress bids me with all speed to call

Aegisthus to the strangers, that he come

And hear more clearly, as a man from man,

This newly brought report. Before her slaves,

Under set eyes of melancholy cast,

She hid her inner chuckle at the events

That have been brought to pass--too well for her,

Aeschylus Aeschylus

The Defiance Of Eteocles

MESSENGER

Now at the Seventh Gate the seventh chief,

Thy proper mother's son, I will announce,

What fortune for this city, for himself,

With curses he invoketh:--on the walls

Ascending, heralded as king, to stand,

With paeans for their capture; then with thee

To fight, and either slaying near thee die,

Aeschylus Aeschylus

A Prayer For Artemis

STROPHE IV

Though Zeus plan all things right,

Yet is his heart's desire full hard to trace;

Nathless in every place

Brightly it gleameth, e'en in darkest night,

Fraught with black fate to man's speech-gifted race.

ANTISTROPHE IV

Steadfast, ne'er thrown in fight,

Aeschylus Aeschylus

The Decree Of Athena

Hear ye my statute, men of Attica--

Ye who of bloodshed judge this primal cause;

Yea, and in future age shall Aegeus's host

Revere this court of jurors. This the hill

Of Ares, seat of Amazons, their tent,

What time 'gainst Theseus, breathing hate, they came,

Waging fierce battle, and their towers upreared,

A counter-fortress to Acropolis;--

The Vision Of Cassandra

CASSANDRA

Phoebus Apollo!

CHORUS

Hark!

The lips at last unlocking.

CASSANDRA

Phoebus! Phoebus!

CHORUS

Aeschylus Aeschylus

The Beacon Fires

A GLEAM — a gleam — from Ida's height,

By the Fire-god sent, it came;

From watch to watch it leapt, that light,

As a rider rode the flame!

It shot through the startled sky,

And the torch of that blazing glory

Old Lemnos caught on high,

On its holy promontory,

Aeschylus Aeschylus

Song Of The Furies

Up and lead the dance of Fate!

Lift the song that mortals hate!

Tell what rights are ours on earth,

Over all of human birth.

Swift of foot to avenge are we!

He whose hands are clean and pure,

Naught our wrath to dread hath he;

Calm his cloudless days endure.

Aeschylus Aeschylus

Lament For The Two Brothers Slain By Each Other's Hand

Now do our eyes behold

The tidings which were told:

Twin fallen kings, twin perished hopes to mourn,

The slayer, the slain,

The entangled doom forlorn

And ruinous end of twain.

Say, is not sorrow, is not sorrow's sum

On home and hearthstone come?

Aeschylus Aeschylus

Prometheus Amid Hurricane And Earthquake

Earth is rocking in space!

And the thunders crash up with a roar upon roar,

And the eddying lightnings flash fire in my face,

And the whirlwinds are whirling the dust round and round—

And the blasts of the winds universal leap free

And blow each other upon each, with a passion of sound,

And æther goes mingling in storm with the sea!

Such a curse on my head, in a manifest dread,

Aeschylus Aeschylus

The Battle Of Salamis

The night was passing, and the Grecian host

By no means sought to issue forth unseen.

But when indeed the day with her white steeds

Held all the earth, resplendent to behold,

First from the Greeks the loud-resounding din

Of song triumphant came; and shrill at once

Echo responded from the island rock.

Then upon all barbarians terror fell,

Aeschylus Aeschylus

The Sacrifice Of Iphigenia

Now long and long from wintry Strymon blew

The weary, hungry, anchor-straining blasts,

The winds that wandering seamen dearly rue,

Nor spared the cables worn and groaning masts;

And, lingering on, in indolent delay,

Slow wasted all the strength of Greece away.

But when the shrill-voiced prophet 'gan proclaim

That remedy more dismal and more dread
