Texts

κεῖμαι: λὰξ ἐπίβαινε κατ᾽ αὐχένος, ἄγριε δαῖμον.
οἶδά σε, ναὶ μὰ θεούς, καὶ ^ βαρὺν ὄντα φέρειν
οἶδα καὶ ἔμπυρα τόξα. βαλὼν δ᾽ ἐπ᾽ ἐμὴν φρένα πυρσούς,
οὐ φλέξεις: ἤδη πᾶσα γάρ ἐστι τέφρη.

— Paton edition

I am down ; set thy foot on my neck, fierce demon. I know thee, yea by the gods, yea heavy art thou to bear : I know, too, thy fiery arrows. But if thou set thy torch to my heart, thou shalt no longer burn it; already it is all ash.
