Chorus Cry out, and learn the tale of woe! Where are thy comrades? where the band Who stood beside thee, hand in hand, A little while ago? Where now hath Pharandalces gone, Where Psammis, and where Pelagon? Where now is brave Agdabatas, And Susas too, and Datamas? Hath Susiscanes past away, The chieftain of Ecbatana?

Chorus And Batanochus' child, Alpistus great, Surnamed the Eye of State--Saw you and left you him who once of old Ten thousand thousand fighting-men enrolled?

Excerpt from The Suppliant Maidens, the Persians, the Seven Against Thebes, the Prometheus Bound of Aeschylus T he Persians has been placed second in this volume, as the oldest play whose date is certainly known. It was brought out in 472 b.c., eight years after the sea-fight of Salamis which it commemorates, and five years before the Swen against T hebes (467 It is thought to be the second play of a T ri logy, standing between the Phineus and the Glancus. Phineus was a legendary seer, of the Argonautic era Tiresias and Phineus, prophets old Land the play named after him may have contained a prophecy of the great conflict which is actually described in The Persae: the plot of the Glut/ens is unknown. In any case, The Persians was produced before the eyes of a generation which had seen the struggles, West against East, at Marathon and Thermopylae, Salamis and Plataea. It is as though Shakespeare had com memorated, through the lips of a Spanish survivor, in the ears of old councillors of Philip the Second, the dispersal of the Armada.
