THETIS, by AESCHYLUS Poet's Biography First Line: He praised the greatness of the child I bore Last Line: Who slew my son. | |||
HE praised the greatness of the child I bore, As free from sickness, gifted with long days; And when he had said all, to comfort me About my heavenly fortune sang a hymn. And I then hoped that Phoebus' holy lips Could never lie in their prophetic art. But he who sang, who stood there at the feast, Who said these words, he is the very one Who slew my son. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A FRAGMENT FROM THE AGAMEMNON OF AESCHYLOS by AESCHYLUS AGAMEMNON: CHORUS by AESCHYLUS AGAMEMNON: HELEN.
