ἁ Μακέτις σε κέκευθε τάφου κόνις: ἀλλὰ πυρωθεὶς
Ζανὶ κεραυνείῳ, γαῖαν ἀπημφίασας.
τρὶς γὰρ ἐπαστράψας, Εὐριπίδη, ἐκ Διὸς αἰθὴρ
ἥγνισε τὰν θνατὰν σώματος ἱστορίαν

— Paton edition

T'hanno celato le zolle macedoni; poi, folgorato
da Zeus, apristi all'etere la terra.
L'aria di Zeus consacrò, nel triplice lampo, la tomba
ad una fama imperitura, Euripide.

Μακέτις σε κέκευθε τάφου κόνις : ἀλλὰ πυρωθεὶς
Ζανὶ κεραυνείῳ , γαῖαν ἀπημφίασας .
τρὶς γὰρ ἐπαστράψας , Εὐριπίδη , ἐκ Διὸς αἰθὴρ
ἥγνισε τὰν θνατὰν σώματος ἱστορίαν

The Macedonian dust of the tomb covers you ,
Euripides , but before you did put on this cloak of
earth you were scorched by the bolts of Zeus . For
thrice the heaven lightened at his word and purified
your mortal frame .
