A propos de cet article

pp. 248-252. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication of the author. - Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise a very good and clean copy. - From the text: [.] So Murrays Oxford text, adopting Hermanns emended accentuation of Ls [.], taking the word as a vocative of [.] and punctuating accordingly. It is perfectly reasonable for the chorus to address their god as [.] (they thus refer to him at 1192), and certainly after the rather blunt [.] a vocative of some sort seems called for, not so much to specify the addressee, for he has just been named at 551, but simply to render these lines a prayer and not a command.An important but all too often forgotten desideratum of any emended reading in tragedy, however, is that it be not merely something the poet could conceivably have written, but a written transcription of something he might reasonably have intended actors or chorus to sing or say. Under conditions of oral performance, and so without the benefit of punctuation marks or the leisure which we enjoy to peruse the lines as something static on a printed page, would the audience really have been likely to hear the metrically uttered clause.
