PRESS

PREFACE
THE text of the present edition of the Alcestis is

based upon a careful examination of the apparatus
criticus given

in Prinz's

edition,

Leipsic,

1879.

Though I have sometimes been compelled to dissent
from the conclusions of that eminent scholar, the text

6 will

not be found to exhibit any important deviations

either from his or those ordinarily in use.
In the lyric portions of the play, the arrangement
of the lines is generally that shown by Schmidt in his
Monodien u. Wechselgesinge, but the numbering of
Dindorfs Poetae Scenici has been preserved.
A few notes (on 11. 118, 546, 817, 983), added
since the first edition was printed, will be found at
p. 88.

INTRODUCTION.
1.

The Story and the Play.

THE legend of Alkestis and Admetos may be briefly
told as follows: -Admetos

was king of Phdrai in

Thessaly, and the hour came near when he should
die.

But he was very loth to depart from life, and

besought the gods to spare him a little longer.
And Apollo, who loved him, spake and persuaded
the Fates, in whose hands are the lives of all men,
and they promised to spare Adinetos yet a little, if
he should find some other who would die in his place
at that time. Then Admetos asked many to do this
thing, but none was found that loved him well enough,
save only his wife Alkestis; and she indeed died.
Now, on the day of her death Herakles came ' to
the king's house and found him sorrowing; and
ix

EYPI

11IOY

AAKHETI.

Admetos told him not truly the cause thereof, but
set meat and drink before him, and went away to
bury his dead. Howbeit, while Admetos tarried at
the grave, Herakles learned the truth, and for his
friend's sake he went and fought with Death; and
each strove hard for the mastery, but Herakles prevailed, and took Alkestis out of Death's hands and
brought her alive to Admetos.

So the king's sorrow-

ing was turned into joy.
We are indebted for this affecting story, as for
that of the Ion, to Euripides alone.

The present

play formed the last of a tetralogy (consisting of the
Kressai, Alkmaion on the Psophis, Telephos, Alkestis),
with which the poet won the second prize in the year
B.C. 439; the first prize being won by Sophocles.

It

is accordingly (with the possible exception of the
Rhesos, the authorship of which is doubtful), the
earliest of Euripides' extant works.
The Alkestis cannot properly be called a tragedy,
since the conclusion is happy, but rather a tragicomedy or comedy (in the modern sense of that word).
On the other hand, it must not be confounded with
the Satyric dramas which usually held the last place
in a tetralogy, and of which we have a specimen in

INTRODUCTION.

the Cyclops. It holds this half-way position between
true tragedy and comedy in common with several
other of the author's plays, as for instance the Orestes,
the Iphigenia in Tauris, and the Ion.

These parts of a tragedy are defined by Aristotle
as follows (Poet. § 12) :wpdXoyos:
Chorus.

all that precedes the entrance of the

wcrpoSos: the first utterance of the whole Chorus
(their ' entrance-song ').
arMLWSSLov: that stands between whole choric
all

songs.
aTdceLaov: a song of the Chorus employing neither
anapaestic nor trochaic measures. (The name is in
contrast to 7rpo8o, the o-rao-cqov being sung by the
Chorus when at their station in the pX/o'-rpa.)
Ko~pds: a dirge in which the Chorus in the orchestra
and an actor on the stage both bear parts (contributing alternate portions).

gSos: all that follows the last song of the Chorus.

NOTES.
[In the following notes Synt. stands for Thomson's Elementary
Greek Syntax.]
1-76. Prologos.---Apollo briefly relates how, in return for
the respect shown to him while serving as the king's herd, he
has saved Admetos from death on condition that someone else
shall die for him. None save his wife Alkfstis is willing to
do this thing, and she lies within breathing her last. Lest
the defilement of contact with the dead come upon him, the
god must abandon the house he has so long protected,
for the feet of Death are drawing near. Death now enters,
and jealously demands the reason of Apollo's presence in a
house of mourning.
Apollo replies by pleading for the
Queen's life.
Then, finding his endeavours useless, he
mysteriously declares that there will soon arrive one stronger
than Death, who will rob him of his prey by force. Death,
however, unmoved by the threat, enters the palace to do his
work.
1. 4: an exclamation of pity. 'Ah, palace of Admetos!'
2. rep emphasizes Ocds. It does not mean ' although'; the
participle of itself has this concessive force.
4. Zeis, sc. deriv : this copula is almost always omitted in
poetry.-KTaKTvAS: Zeus was annoyed because Asklapios,
founder of the healing art, brought the dead to life.-~odya,
a thunderbolt, manufactured by the Kykl6pes who lived
under Mt. Aetna.
5. oi, gen. of cause.
6. KTelV : historic present.
7. wOLVw',
acc. in apposition to the sentence: cp. 'EXdCv
KTrciYJEv,

MlE' CXey Xt7hPr

rtKpCiv,

Synt.

NOTES.

of the duties of hospitality, insists upon his staying, and
Herakles consents.

606-961. Fourth ire-r6S&ov.-Scene 1. Admetos with the
funeral procession comes out of the palace. They are met by
Pherbs, Admetos' father, who arrives with offerings for
Alkbstis' tomb. Admetos breaks out on him with fury, and
tells him that he wants neither his sympathy nor his gifts.
He goes on to abuse with great violence both his father and
his mother for having refused to die for him. Considering
their age it was not much to ask, and it would have been a
graceful thing for them to do. Pheres retorts that life is
dear even to the old, and deals Admetos some home-thrusts
anent his selfishness and cowardice in letting his young wife
perish, instead of boldly facing death for himself. At last
the old man departs, reminding Admetos (by way of a parting

EYPIIIIAOY AAKHITIE.

shot) that he has still to reckon with Alkestis' brother
Akastos. Admetos curses him as he goes, and his mother
also.
Neither speaker appears to much advantage in this painful
wrangle in the presence of the dead, but Pheres certainly
has the best of the argument. The procession moves on
towards the grave.
Scene 2. A slave comes out of the palace complaining of
Herakles' uproarious and unseemly behaviour in a house
which the hero must at least know to be a house of mourning,
though he does not know that it is its mistress who is no
more. He is followed by Herakles, who rallies him on his
dismal appearance and gloomy manners. After some conversation, the servant says plainly that Alkestis is dead.
Herakles is much shocked and vexed with himself, but
declares that to make amends to his old friend he will go and
rob Death of his prey. Admetos shall confess that his noble
hospitality has not been wasted.
Scene 3. Herakles having departed on his errand, Admetos
returns from the grave quite broken down, and giving vent to
his anguish in uncontrollable lamentations. He feels he cannot even enter the house again, where the cruel contrast
between the present and the past will make life unbearable.
The Chorus comfort him as best they can, and at last he goes
in. (For detailed sketch of the KO x6s see note on v. 861.)

For various reasons the latter for a long time refuses to do

APPENDIX.
A.
The student should study the following list with care.
The words and expressions contained in it, which are all
found in this play, are of constant recurrence, and their
meaning and use should be known perfectly.
.AX'obv. The ouv marks a concession: 'but though that
is so'; 'but all the same.' Cp. v. 363.
&pa. See on vv. 228, 341.
piv. 'At least, surely.' Cp. v. 516.
yoiv (ye ov), 'at least,' ' at any rate.' See on XX'oirv.
Cp. v. 694.
8' obv, ' however' : a weaker form of dX\' ov.
Cp. v. 850.
Ka(, like &pa, introduces a question with great emphasis :
'Can it be that... ?' 'Dare I hope that... ?' ' Dost mean

yE

that ... ? '

p.(v. Two particles of emphasis, doubled for the sake of
l
greater force. 'Surely, of a truth,' 'Surely, indeed.'
rov properly expresses indeSrrov. 'Surely, I ween.'
finiteness (primarily indefiniteness of place) : 'somehow,' 'in
some way.'
4-ji, like iam, most commonly=an emphatic 'now,' ' when
this point was reached.' Both words occur less often in the
sense of ' already.'-Similarly OvKTL often means ' not now':
e.g. Ta
vra diKO(oa OKETL ~ X 6e, 'when he heard this, he did
not now go forth' (as he had intended). Here the ordinary
89

EYPIIIIAOY AAKHITII.

90

meaning 'no longer' is unsuitable, since it implies the discontinuance of something that was previously being done, which
the Greek sentence does not imply.
KaC
y&p, 'for the fact is.' In poetry transl. 'for in truth,'
'for indeed.' Cp. vv. 370, 978.
Kal iAv prefaces and draws attention sharply to a statement for which the hearer is supposed to be unprepared.
These particles are never of themselves adversative. When
they seem to be so, they are in reality accentuating strongly
a statement that is in itself adversative. That is, they never
='and yet': the proper Greek for this is KaTOL. COp.vv.
369, 385, 653, 713, 1099.
The commonest use of the expression is to draw attention to
a fresh arrival on the scene, when it may generally be translated by, 'See here.'
KaL Irot ; KOt 7ro0 ; The explanation is the same as that of
Kai 7rw ; and
Kal; given below. Cp. vv. 482, 834, 1049.

7rls

KaL rAs; expresses incredulity or surprise: cp. vv. 142,
1052. In wr4s KaG on the other hand, the Kai, emphasizing
;,
the words that follow, marks that a fact is assumed : cp.
Hec. 515,
Ka v V hErpCi~Tre; 'How did you (actually)
dispatch her ?' Hecuba knows her daughter has been killed ;
she now asks how it was done.

7ws

KaTOL : 'and yet.'

Cp. vv. 290, 648.

pEv ov. If these words are to be taken together, their
meaning is 'nay rather.' Cp. v. 821. Frequently however
they must be taken separately, in which case FIz the ordiis
nary antithetic particle, and oiv has its common meaning of
' now ' or 'therefore.'
vvv (without accent) : an inferential particle, 'then,' ' therefore.'
obKovv ; and obKO0v.

When the odK is accented both parts

of the word have their proper force, 'not, then?'

Cp. v. 148.

APPENDIX.

91

When the ou is accented the force of the oiK is lost, so that
oVKOvz simply = ' therefore.'

oIro : 'not yet.'
&crrEp 'even as' (an emphatic js).
:
never means ' as if.'
