GRAMMAR
1. Athematic 2nd Aorists
‘The following common verbs form their aorist indicatives, impera-
tives, and infinitives by adding the appropriate endings directly to a
Jong-vowel stem without a thematic vowel in between. The participles are
formed on the short-vowel stem. We call these athematic 2nd aorists.
The aorist of fave is used only in compounds in Attic Greck:
Baive, Bicone, éBnv
Istep, walk, go

Exercise 15y
Translate into Greek, using athematic aorist verbs from page 252 with the
prepositional prefixes dva-, eig-, éx-, and ém- as appropriate (check the
vocabularies at the end of the book as necessary). Participles and infini-
tives when compounded with prefixes retain the accent of their uncom-
pounded forms, but the accent of compound indicatives and imperatives is
recessive.
1. After going into the house, the women were sitting talking to one
another.

‘Having gone into the temple, the priest stood and prayed to the god.
After climbing the mountain, we stood and were looking at the city.
‘The old man told the boys to stand up and listen.
Having learned what had happened (use aorist), the boy went out of

The women want to know why they must leave their homes behind.
8. Having learned that the barbarians were approaching (use present

In Chapter 13, Grammar 4, pages 226-227, you learned the declension
of nouns with stems in -eo-, such as td teizos (stem terzeo-) and 4 zpriipns
(stem tpnpeo-). The noun 6 Geyr0toxAig, 108 OcpiotoKAéovg also has a stem
in -ea-, but with a preceding e so that the following contractions occur:

‘As usual, the intervocalic o is lost. The last two vowels then contract in

Aeschylus’s Persae
Aeschylus, the first of the three great Athenian writers of tragedy, had
fought at the battle of Marathon and probably also at Salamis, He certainly
saw the battle, and he has left us an eyewitness account of it. Eight years after
the battle, he entered his play The Persians (Tépoai) in the dramatic contest at
the festival of Dionysus in 472 B.C. This is our earliest extant Greek tragedy,
and it is unique in that it has an historical theme; all other extant tragedies
draw their plots from myth. For Aeschylus, human events were interwoven
with the divine; he saw the defeat and humiliation of Xerxes as the supreme
example of hubris (human pride) punished by Nemesis (Divine Vengeance),
‘The scene of the play is Susa, the Persian capital, where the Elders anx-
iously wait for news of Xerxes’ expedition. Since he left, they have heard
nothing, and their hearts are heavy with foreboding as they wonder what has
happened to the host that went forth in pride to cast the yoke of slavery on
Greece. As they speculate gloomily, they see Atossa, the Queen-mother, ap-
proaching. She tells them that ever since her son left, she has been troubled by
dreams and that now she has had a dream of unmistakable significance: she
saw Xerxes yoke two women to his chariot, one in Asian dress, the other in
Greek. The Asian woman was proud of her harness and was obedient to the
reins, but the Greek struggled, tore the harness from the chariot, threw off the
bridle, and broke the yoke. When Atossa woke and went to the altar to pray
for deliverance from evil, she saw another terrible omen: an eagle (the king
of birds = Xerxes) flew to Apollo's altar, pursued by a falcon (= the Greeks),
which clawed at its head, while it cowored unresisting.
‘As the Elders attempt to calm and comfort Atossa, a messenger is seen ap-
proaching in haste, who without preamble reveals the news they have
dreaded: “Cities of all the lands of Asia, by one blow your great prosperity has
been destroyed and the flower of the Persians is fallen and gone; the whole
host has perished.”
‘While Atossa is stunned to silence, the Elders lament wildly until the
queen recovers and with quiet dignity asks the messenger how it could have
happened since the Persians surely outnumbered the Greeks, The messenger
replies (337-347, tr. Podlecki):
Be sure of this, that in a matter of sheer numbers,
‘The ships on our side would have conquered, for the Greeks’
Entire total of ships was only three hundred ten. .. .
But the multitude of ships in Xerxes’ fleet—I know
‘The facts—were no less than a thousand, those in speed
Surpassing, two hundred seven. This is the total sum.
‘Was it here you think we were surpassed when battle came?
No, not by numbers, but some Spirit crushed the host,
‘Threw in an evil fate against us in the scales.
‘The gods are keeping the Goddess Pallas’ city safe.
The messenger then describes the battle as follows (386-430, tr. Podlecki):Athenaze: Book 1
But when the white-horsed chariot of dawn appeared
And filled the entire earth with radiance to behold,
‘The first thing was a sound, a shouting from the Greeks,
A joyful song, and to it, making shrill response,
From the island rocks about there came an antiphony
Of echoes; fear stood next to each one of our men,
‘Tripped up in their hopes: for not as if in flight
Were the Greeks raising then a solemn paean-strain,
But rushing into battle with daring confidence;
A trumpet, too, blazed over everything its sound.
‘At once, with measured stroke of surging, sea-dipped oar,
They struck the brine and made it roar from one command,
And quickly all of them were visible to sight.
‘Their right wing first, in order just as they had been
Arranged, led off, and next the whole remaining force
Came out to the attack, and with the sight we heard
A loud voice of command: “O sons of Greeks, go on,
Bring freedom to your fatherland, bring freedom to
Your children, wives, and seats of your ancestral gods,
And your forebears’ graves; now the struggle is for all.”
Of course, on our side, too, a roar of Persian tongues
Went forth in answer; the moment would not brook delay.
Immediately ship struck its brazen-plated beak
On ship. The ramming was begun by a Greek ship
And it snapped off from one of the Phoenicians the whole
Curving stern, and men on both sides shot their spears.
At first the streaming Persian force withstood the shocks;
But when their crowd of ships was gathered in the straits,
‘And no assistance could be given one to another,
But they were being struck by their own brazen rams,
‘They kept on breaking all their equipage of oars,
And the ships of the Greeks, with perfect plan and order, came
Around them in a circle and struck, and hulls of ships
Were overturned; and the sea no longer was visible,
Filled as it was with shipwrecks and the slaughter of men.
‘The beaches, too, and the reefs around were filled with corpses.
Now every ship that came with the Persian armament
Was being rowed for quick escape, no order left.
And they kept striking us, deboning us, like tunnies
Or a catch of fish, with broken fragments of oars, or bits
Of flotsam from the wrecks; and all this time, moaning
‘And wailing held control of that area of sea,
Until the eye of black night took it away,
So great a crowd of ills, not even if I took
‘Ten days in order to tell, could I tell the tale in full.15, H_EN THI ZAAAMINI MAXH (a) 257
