"Do not leave me behind, unwept for, unburied, when you go away, lest I should become the cause of the wrath of the gods against thee; but burn me with all the arms which belong to me, and erect over me a mound on the shore of the hoary sea." [386] Soph. _Ajax_, 555:-- τὰ δ᾽ ἄλλα τεύχη κοίν᾽ ἐμοὶ τεθάψεται. "My other weapons shall be buried together with me." [387] _Agam._ 1552-1554: ... πρὸς ἡμῶν κάαππεσεν, κάτθανε, ἡμεῖς καὶ καταθάψομεν οὐχ ὑπὸ κλαυθμῶν τῶν ἐξ οἴικων. [388] _Il._, XIX. 301-302: ὥς ἔφατο (Βρισηῒς) κλαίους᾽· ἐπὶ δὲ στεναχοντο γυναῖκες, Πάτροκλον πρόφασιν, σφῶν δ᾽ αὐτῶν κήδε᾽ ἑκάστη. [389] _Choëph._ 430-3: πάντολμε μᾶτερ, δαΐαις ἐν ἐκφοραῖς ἄνευ πολιτᾶν ἄνακτ᾽, ἄνευ δὲ πενθημάτων ἔτλης ἀανοίμωκτον ἄνδρα θάψαι. [390] _Ibid._ 479: πάτερ, τρόποισιν οὐ τυραννικοῖς θανών. [391] _Electra_, 444: ὑφ᾽ ἧς θανὼν ἄτιμος, ὥστε δυσμενής, ἐμασχαλίσθη. [392] _Troad_, 446: ἧ κακὸς κακῶς ταφήσει νυκτός, οὐκ ἐν ἡμερᾳ. [393] _Elect._ 894: τύμβου δ᾽ ἐπ᾽ ὄχθῳ τῷδε κηρύσσω πατρί.
