Line Information

• Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
• English translations (Windeatt: 1998): Calchas had left behind his daughter, who suffered a great deal: she feared dreadfully for her life, not knowing what was the best advice, for she was both a widow and alone, without any friend to whom she dared to bemoan her sorrow.
• Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): さて、カルカスは、自分の娘にこの不実でよこしまな行為をまったく知らせずに、娘をこの騒ぎの中に残して去ってしまった。大変な苦しみに陥った娘の方はどうすればよいか分からなかったので、身の危険を感じながらひっそりと暮らしていた。何しろ彼女は未亡人であり、思い切ってこの悲しみを打ち明ける友だちもおらず、独りぼっちだったからである。
• Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 卡尔卡斯闯下这场祸来，没有料到他的恶行连累了他的女儿，她被遗留城中，眼见得众怒难犯，忧虑性命不保，真不知如何是好；因她即是孀居，又是独宿，那敢向任何人倾诉衷曲。
