Outsiders
Euripides, Ion 1069-1073 (tr. David Kovacs):
Newer› ‹Older
For never, while she lives,John C. Gibert ad loc.:
can her eyes bear to see, in the <god's> bright
sunlight, foreigners
ruling over her house,
since she is begotten of noble lineage.
οὐ γὰρ δόμων γ᾿ ἑτέρους
ἄρχοντας ἀλλοδαποὺς 1070
ζῶσά ποτ᾿ ὄμμασιν <θεοῦ 'ν> φαεν-
ναῖς ἀνέχοιτ᾿ ἂν αὐγαῖς
ἁ τῶν εὐπατριδᾶν γεγῶσ᾿ οἴκων.
1071 <θεοῦ 'ν> Willink
