Greek Texts & Translations

Dear, let us hasten back.

To do what deed?

A longing fills my soul—

For what?

1725To see the netherworld home.

Of whom?

Wretched me! Of our father.

And how can this be right? 1730Surely you understand?

Why this rebuke?

And surely you know this, too—

What more would you tell me?

That he perished without a tomb, apart from everyone.

Lead me there, and then kill me, too.

Unhappy me! Abandoned and helpless, 1735where am I now to live my wretched life?
