I then sent out all the living things in every direction and sacrificed a sheep on that very spot. |

Then with a groan he called his dear friend by name: "Feel no anger at me, Patroclus, if you learn—even there in the House of Death—I let his father have Prince Hector back. He gave me worthy ransom and you shall have your share from me, as always,your fitting, lordly share." |

Soften some beeswax and stop your shipmates’ ears so none can hear, none of the crew, but if you are bent on hearing, have them tie you hand and foot in the swift ship, erect at the mast-block, lashed by ropes to the mast so you can hear the Sirens’ song to your heart’s content.

I go, but first I’ll tell you why I came. Your frown I dread not, for you cannot harm me. Hear then: this man whom you want to arrest With threats and warrants this long while, the wretch Who murdered Laius – that man is here. He passes for an alien in the land But soon shall prove a Theban, native born. And yet his fortune brings him little joy; Blind, though he could see, dressed in beggar's rags, Not purple robes, and leaning on his staff, To a strange land he soon shall grope his way. And of his children, who live in his home, He shall be proved brother and father, Of his mother who bore him son and husband both, Co-partner, and assassin of his own father. Go in and ponder this, and if you find That I have missed the mark, henceforth declare I have no wit nor skill in prophecy.

He tore the golden brooches that held Her queenly robes, raised them high and plunged them Fully into his eyeballs, uttering words like these: "No more shall I behold such sights of woe, Deeds I have suffered and myself have wrought; Henceforward quenched in darkness shall I see Those I should never have seen; now blind to those Whom, when I saw, I vainly yearned to know." Such was the burden of his moaning, all the while, Not once but often, he struck with his hand uplifted His eyes, and at each stroke the bloody orbs Fell on his beard, not oozing drop by drop, But one dark gory downpour, thick as hail.

"As to the origin of the poetic art as a whole, it stands to reason that two | operative causes brought it into being, both of them rooted in human nature.

"So, then, the artistically made plot must necessarily be single rather than double, as some maintain, and involve a change not from bad fortune to good fortune but the other way round, from good fortune to bad, and not thanks to wickedness but because of some mistake of great weight and consequence, by a man such as we have described or else on the good rather than the bad side." |
