Sur la mort de Dion. (M. Yourcenar)

Codex Palatinus 23 p. 222

Texts


δάκρυα μὲν Ἑκάβῃ τε καὶ Ἰλιάδεσσι γυναιξὶ
Μοῖραι ἐπέκλωσαν δή ποτε γεινομέναις:
σοὶ δέ, Δίων, ῥέξαντι καλῶν ἐπινίκον ἔργων
δαίμονες εὐρείας ἐλπίδας ἐξέχεαν:


κεῖσαι δ᾽ εὐρυχόρῳ ἐν πατρίδι τίμιος ἀστοῖς,
ὦ ἐμὸν ἐκμήνας θυμὸν ἔρωτι Δίων.

— Paton edition

Sorte di pianto le Parche filarono a Ecuba e a tutte
le Troiane nel punto della nascita;
mentre per te, che levasti trofei di prodezze, Dione,
speranze larghe i numi prodigarono.
Giaci nell'ampia città, venerato da tutti, Dione,
che pazzo hai reso il cuore mio d'amore.

— Pontani, Filippo Maria (1978-81) (ed.): Antologia Palatina, 4 vols., Torino.

δάκρυα μὲν Ἑκάβῃ τε καὶ Ἰλιάδεσσι γυναιξὶ
Μοῖραι ἐπέκλωσαν δή ποτε γεινομέναις :
σοὶ δέ , Δίων , ῥέξαντι καλῶν ἐπινίκον ἔργων
δαίμονες εὐρείας ἐλπίδας ἐξέχεαν :

κεῖσαι δ εὐρυχόρῳ ἐν πατρίδι τίμιος ἀστοῖς ,
ἐμὸν ἐκμήνας θυμὸν ἔρωτι Δίων .

The Fates decreed tears for Hecuba and the
Trojan women even at the hour of their birth ; and
after you , Dio , had triumphed in their accomplishment
of noble deeds , the gods spilt all your far - reaching
hopes . But you lie in your spacious city ,
honoured by your countrymen , Dio , who did madden
my soul with love .
