gre I, 293-297αὐτὰρ ἐπὴν δὴ ταῦτα τελευτήσῃς τε καὶ ἔρξῃς,
φράζεσθαι δὴ ἔπειτα κατὰ φρένα καὶ κατὰ θυμὸν
295 ὅππως κε μνηστῆρας ἐνὶ μεγάροισι τεοῖσι
κτείνῃς ἠὲ δόλῳ ἢ ἀμφαδόν: οὐδέ τί σε χρὴ
νηπιάας ὀχέειν, ἐπεὶ οὐκέτι τηλίκος ἐσσι.
Tr. Leontius Pilatus, 1362 (1462), p. 7Nam postque ia haec feceveris et impleveris
Cogita postea persensum et per animum
Quomodo procos in atriis tuis
interficias vel dolo uel palam · non autem te oportet
Puerizantem duci · qua non talis es
Tr. Thomas Hobbes, 1677 (1844)Then bethink you, how you may
By open force, or howsoever kill
330
These shameless suitors that your means destroy.
Be fool’d no more. You’re now at man’s estate.
Tr. Samuel Butler,1900Then when thou hast done all this and brought it to an end,
thereafter take thought in mind and heart
[295] how thou mayest slay the wooers in thy halls
whether by guile or openly; for it beseems thee
not to practise childish ways, since thou art no longer of such an age.
