Ichneutae

Sophocles

Sophocles. Tracking Satyrs. Mahoney, Anne (Anne Elizabeth), translator.

  1. Make way, and --- if you hear any sound from the cattle.
Semi-chorus B
  1. I don’t yet hear their voices clearly. But these tracks and footprints are obviously those of the cattle.
Semi-chorus A
  1. Hey! As Zeus is my witness, the tracks turn around and go backward. Look at them.
  2. Why is that? Why would their line wheel around? The front is turned to the back, and they’re all tangled up together. The cowherd must have been awfully confused.
