Except your knees I have no altar to fly to; and not a friend stands Reading πέλας with Markland for MSS. γελᾷ , a conjecture adopted by Hermann and Monk. at my side. You have heard the cruel abandoned scheme of Agamemnon; and I, a woman, have come, as you see, to a camp of lawless sailor-folk, bold in evil’s cause, ⁹¹⁵ though useful when they wish; Now if you boldly stretch forth your arm in my behalf, our safety is assured; but if not, we are lost. Chorus Leader ¹⁵⁴⁴ Dear mistress, you shall learn all clearly; from the outset will I tell it, unless my memory fails me somewhat and confuses my tongue in its account. As soon as we reached the grove of Artemis, the child of Zeus, and the flowery meadows,¹⁵⁵⁵ that you may lead me to the altar of the goddess and sacrifice me, since this is Heaven’s ordice. May good luck be yours for any help that I afford! and may you obtain the victor’s gift and come again to the land of your fathers. So then let none of the Argives lay hands on me, ¹⁵⁶⁰ for I will bravely yield my neck without a word. ¹⁵⁶⁵ and Calchas, the seer, drawing a sharp sword from its scabbard laid it in a basket of beaten gold, and crowned the maiden’s head. Then the son of Peleus, taking the basket and with it lustral water in his hand, ran round the altar of the godde ¹⁵⁷⁰ uttering these words: O Artemis, you child of Zeus, slayer of wild beasts, that wheel your dazzling light amid the gloom, accept this sacrifice which we, the army of the Achaeans and Agamemnon with us, offer to you, pure blood from a beautiful maiden’s neck; ¹⁵⁷⁵ and grant us safe sailing for our ships and the sack of Troy ’s towers by our spears. ¹⁵⁷⁸ But the priest, seizing his knife, offered up a prayer and was closely scanning the maiden’s throat to see where he should strike. ¹⁵⁸⁰ It was no slight sorrow filled my heart, as I stood by with bowed head; when there was a sudden miracle! Each one of us distinctly heard the sound of a blow, Reading πληγῆς σαφῶς γὰρ πᾶς τις ᾔσθετο κτύπον (Weil). but none saw the spot where the maiden vanished. The priest cried out, and all the army took up the cry ¹⁵⁸⁵ at the sight of a marvel all unlooked for, due to some god’s agency, and passing all belief, although it was seen; for there upon the ground lay a deer of immense size, magnificent to see, gasping out her life, with whose blood the altar of the goddess was thoroughly bedewed. ¹⁵⁹⁰ Then spoke Calchas thus—his joy you can imagine— You captains of this leagued Achaean army, do you see this victim, which the goddess has set before her altar, a mountain-roaming deer? This is more welcome to her by far than the maid, ¹⁵⁹⁵ that she may not defile her altar by shedding noble blood. Gladly she has accepted it, and is granting us a prosperous voyage for Reading Ἰλίου πρὸς for Ἰλίου τ᾽ with Hermann. our attack on Ilium . Therefore take heart, sailors, each man of you, and away to your ships, for today ¹⁶⁰⁰ we must leave the hollow bays of Aulis and cross the Aegean main. ' None

5.83 Now at this time, as before it, the Aeginetans were in all matters still subject to the Epidaurians and even crossed to Epidaurus for the hearing of their own private lawsuits. From this time, however, they began to build ships, and stubbornly revolted from the Epidaurians. ,In the course of this struggle, they did the Epidaurians much damage and stole their images of Damia and Auxesia. These they took away and set them up in the middle of their own country at a place called Oea, about twenty furlongs distant from their city. ,Having set them up in this place they sought their favor with sacrifices and female choruses in the satirical and abusive mode. Ten men were appointed providers of a chorus for each of the deities, and the choruses aimed their raillery not at any men but at the women of the country. The Epidaurians too had the same rites, and they have certain secret rites as well. '' None

3.21 But when they had put to sea from Argos and arrived for the second time at Aulis, the fleet was windbound, and Calchas said that they could not sail unless the fairest of Agamemnon's daughters were presented as a sacrifice to Artemis; for the goddess was angry with Agamemnon, both because, on shooting a deer, he had said, “ Artemis herself could not ( do it better),” Compare Tzetzes, Scholiast on Lycophron 183 . The full expression is reported by the Scholiast on Hom. Il. 1.108, οὐδὲ ἡ Ἄρτεμις οὕτως ἂν ἐτόξευσε, “Not even Artemis could have shot like that.” The elliptical phrase is wrongly interpreted by the Sabbaitic scribe.
