Ecclesiazusae

Excerpt from Ecclesiazusae: Cum Prolegomenis Et Commentariis

Mitioris ingenu fuit Sophocles, neque generosiores unquam terra tulit mortales quam finxit ille Antigonam. Sed affectu, quo Oedipi haec filia permovetur, etiam virile pectus aestuare poterat; viriliter se gerit fraterno amori parens: quae perniciem ei afi'ert audacia et a choro mentis popularis interprete cum commiseratione quadam et dubitanter excusatur potins quam laudatur. Neque enim Thebis olim neque Periclis aetate Athenis locus erat virgini suo stanti iudicio, et Tecmessa cum supplici bus verbis ab Aiace petit ut doloris se faciat participem, quo levius fiat onus commune, responsum fert illud: feminis tacendum.
