Summary

Verse 80 ει χρή σε μίμνειν ἥ πορεύεσθαι πάλιν.–The passages of Aesch. quoted for an Attic use of the Homeric ἥ…ἥ in indirect question are the following. (1) Cho. 755 οủ γάρ τι φωνεῖ παῖς ἔτʾ ὤν ἐν σπαργάνοις, | ἥ λιμός, ἥ δίψη τις, ἥ λιψουρία | ἔχει νέ νηδὺς αủτάρκης τέκνων. Stanley changed the first ἥ to ει. This correction, received by Dindorf and others, is clearly right. (2) Cho. 889 δοίη τις ἀνδροκμῆτα πέλεκυν ὡς τάχος |εἰδῶμεν ἥ νικώμεθα. Turnebus changed the first ἥ to ει (so Dindorf and others). There, too, this simple remedy appears the true one. In the first passage we might, indeed, point after σπαργάνοις, and in the second after εἰδῶμεν, taking the first ἥ in each case as beginning a new sentence (‘either’): but this is much less probable. (3) P. V. 780 δίδωμʾ· ἑλοῦ γάρ · ἥ πόνων τὰ λοιπά σοι | φράσω σαφηνῶς, ἥ τόν ἐκλύσοντʾ ἐμέ. With this punctuation, which is surely the best, the first ἥ begins a new sentence: ‘I give thee the choice;–choose, I say;– I will clearly tell thee either the toils yet in store for thee, or the name of my destined deliverer.’ It is only if ἑλοῦ γάρ were followed by a comma, or by no point at all, that the first ἥ would necessarily mean ‘whether.’ In that case, I should read ει, as in the two former passages: but no change seems necessary.
