O. 2.59, which Mitchell quotes, ἀλιτρὰ ... δικάζει τις = simply “tries.” Aesch. has another poet. use, Aesch. Ag. 1412 “δικαάζεις ... φυγὴν ἐμοί” = καταδικάζεις φυγὴν ἐμοῦ.
γάμον πάλαι τεκνοῦντα καὶ τεκνοῦμενον one in which ὁ τεκνούμενος has long been identified with ὁ τεκνῶν: i.e. in which the son has become the husband. The expression is of the same order as “τά γ᾽ ἔργα μου ι πεπονθότ᾽ ἐστὶ μᾶλλον ἢ δεδρακότα,” Soph. OC 266.This text is part of:
