NOTES.
I.
Line 441 to 452.
There are great doubts as to the accuracy of parts of this division of the chorus, and Hermann leaves a blank for a lost line in the antistrophe. I have thought it best, while translating the whole passage, as it stands in Paley's text, as closely as possible, to arrange it in the usual completeness of strophe and antistrophe.
II.
Line 664. Cypris : a name of Aphrodite.
III.
Line 735. The rushing river not inaptly named.
This description is supposed to point to the Araxes, from ἀράσσειν, to dash in pieces.
