{cf. Aesch. Sept. 460), before whichthe brothers had fallen and nearwhich the corpse of Polynices waslying. The Chorus, composed offifteen venerable and prominent citi-zens of Thebes, enter the orchestrathrough the right parodos. Theyhalt and greet the rising sun, prob-ably in the attitude of prayer, withraised arms and extended hands.They exult in the victory. Thenthey advance to their position aboutthe thymele in the proper marchingmeasure, the anapaestic, and depictin alternate march and dance move-ment the struggle and its issue. Atthe close of the ode, they give ex-pression anew to the joy of thetriumph, and exhort to give thanksto the gods. The Chorus remain inthe orchestra during the whole of theplay. The first strophe and anti-strophe of the ode consist of smoothGlyconic verses, in which the firstperiod portrays the advance of thesteeds of the sun and the retreatof those of the enemy, and thesecond period, ^vith the resolved tri-brachs (108, 125), the rapidity of theflight and the tumult of the battle.

vTrep peiOpoiv jMoXovcra,The Pherecratean verse usually formsthe close of Glyconic periods. Be-tween the strophes intervene anapaes-tic systems. These formed in theoldest style of the tragedy the properparodos. Here also they serve as amarch measure. The last systemserves to introduce the person who isnext to appear on the stage. Whilesuch an announcement of the personnever occurs in the case of menialsor messengers, it is rarely omitted inother instances (once in this play,988) in the older drama.

100. ocXCov: Dor. of i\4\ios, Att.f|A.tos. The lyric parts of the tragedyhave many Dor. forms, since theodes and choral hymns in honor ofDionysus, from which the drama wasdeveloped, had their origin amongthe Dorians.

mand. viv : inferential ; since youhave heard my views.216. TOVTO : the Chorus mistake

the meaning of Creon, supposing thatby ffKOTToi he referred to the task ofwatching the dead body in order thatit should not be buried.

253. The guards relieved one an-other during the night. But theyhad either not been placed on dutyforthwith, or had not gone promptly,or had not kept a sharp enoughwatch at the dawning light. Theelder Philostratus, Imagines ii. 29, as-sumes that the deed was done whenit was yet night, and portrays rhetori-cally a scene in which Antigone bythe light of the moon takes up herbrother's body in her arms, in orderto bury it secretly by the side of thetomb of Eteocles.

1155. The messenger enters thescene at the left. His part is playedby the actor who had represented inturn Israene, Haemon, and tlie Guard.With mournful reflections of a gen-eral character, he prepares the wayfor the recital of the calamities thathave happened, and leads the mindof the spectator back from the joy-ful elation awakened by the songand dance of the chorus to a state ofsorrow and gloomy foreboding.8o|M>v : the Thebans dwell by the sideof (irop-) the citadel that was foundedby Cadmus and afterwards inhabitedby Amphion ; hence Thebes was oftencalled the city of Cadmus and Am-phion.

160 KliYTUMlCAL SCHEME.

RHYTHMICAL SCHEME OF THE LYRIC PARTSOF THE ANTIGONE.The rhythm of the dialogue of tragedy is for the most part

the so-called iambic trimeter. For a description of this verse,see Schmidt's Rhythmic and Metric^ 26, III. ; G. 1658 ; H. 1091.Occasionally there is synizesis. See note on 33.

In the lyric parts of the Antigone the rhythm most commonlj'employed is the logaoedic. For this verse, see Schmidt, 13 ; G.1679-1682 ; H. 1108 ff. The Parodos and Kommos have ana-paestic systems interposed between the strophes and antistrophes,and the Exodos closes with anapaests. For the anapaestic rhythm,see Schmidt, 10, II., 31, 3 ; G. 1676 ff. ; H. 1103 ff.

In the structure of a few rhythmical periods the logaoedic arefollowed b}' choreic series. A rhythmical period is a combinationof two or more rhythmical sentences (xwAa) grouped according tofixed principles so as to form a unit, and marked by a pause atits close. See Schmidt, 24. For choreic sentences, see Schmidt,10, IV. ; 22, 5.

The rhythm of the Exodos is the dochmiac, for which seeSchmidt, 23, 4 ; G. 1691 ; H. 1125 f.

The characters employed in the scheme are sufficiently ex-plained in the treatises on versification to be found in the gram-mars,* with possibly the following exceptions :The anacrusis {see Schmidt, 7, 5 ; G. 1635 ; H. 1079) sometimesconsists of two short syllables, which are indicated by the mark w.

See G. 1626-1641 ; H. 1067-1070.

In adopting the rhythmical scheme of Schmidt, it was found undesirablein all cases to accept the text used by him. No departure from the text ofSchmidt, however, has involved any important change in his metrical notation,excepting in two instances, which are discussed in the critical Appendix, on798 and 1323.


169/216

RHYTHMICAL SCHEME. 161The Roman numerals I., II., III., etc., indicate the rhythmical

periods, the beginning of which is marked in the text by anindented line.

The mark d means that an irrational long, whether in tliestrophe or antistrophe, corresponds to a short syllable.

The beginning of a rhythmical sentence within a verse ismarked in the text by a dot () under the initial letter of thefirst word or syllable of the sentence.

In the rhythmical schemes a comma (,) signifies diaeresis orcaesura. See Schmidt, 19, 2, II. and III.

This chorus begins (str, a) with sentences of like form (Gly-conics) , then becomes more varied by the interchange of sentencesof different lengths (str. ft') , and finally closes with series of likeform (str. y', epod.).

The first strophe and the beginning of the second are inlogaoedic measure. After these come choreic periods, whichbecome more lively toward the close in consequence of the occur-rence of the three choreic dactyls. As in the First Stasimonabove, choreic dactyls are introduced to relieve the otherwisetoo great repose of choreic series.

40. C. A. Lehmann, Hermes xiv. 468, conjectures Xvovir' av tJO* airrovo-a.46. This verse is rejected by W. and by many other editt., on the groundthat it breaks the o-nxofivOta or single-verse-dialogue. Such a break, however,

is not without example in Soph. Cf. 0. T. 366-380, 1171 f. The remark ofDidymus, vwo tv vvo)iVT))iATto-Tv tov trriy^ov vcvodcvo^cu, has influencededitt.

Were Doricforms to be introduced generally into the anapaests of Soph., a great manychanges of text would be necessary. If, on the contrary, Dorisms are tobe excluded from the anapaests, only the following need to be clianged: Ant.804, vayKoLrav; 822, evartiv 'AtSav; Aj. 202, 'EpixOciSdv; 234, irotjivav; El. 90,vXaYOis ; O. J'. VA)'3, Swrrav. See note on 380, where a Doric form occurs inan anapaestic system.

112. In the Mss., the corresponding verse (129) of the next anapaesticystem has two feet more than this. Because of this circumstance (which,


181/216

TJ^aYcv d IIoXwcCkiis, and the fact that Polynices cannot bethe subject of what follows in the next strophe, most editt. have supposedthat there was a lacuna in the Mss., which they have tried to supply invarious ways : e.g. Erfurdt proposed ^xdpcuorc 8oc3s 8', Schn. n'ya.Yf Ktivos 8*.In W.'a reading (taken from J.

Boeckh's conjecture vira(6pcia has been adopted chiefly because,as Camp, says, the repetition of wj wli_l_wl in verses 3, 4, 6, suitsthe composition of the strophe better than the introduction of the bacchiusand eretic in verse 3, i.e. vy | w Camp, reads SiaCOpcia; other editt.are divided between cvaCOpcia and waCOpcio.

360. W. departs without sufficient reason from the Mss. reading adopted inthe text. The phrase to which he objects is not to ov8v but ovScv to |icX\ov.361 ff. The traditional reading is not free from difficulty. Schmidt pro-

poses "AiSa |ju>vov cv|iv owe c4>pa^e iro v6o'v Ti is hard to justify. In place of it, Heimsoeth proposes ScivoVTi ; Schmidt, toiov ti ; Gleditsch, too-ovSc.
