Much-memorable curse

Hast thou made flower-forth, red

With the blood no rains disperse,

That which was then in the House —

Strife all-subduing, the woe of a spouse.

1462

KLUTAIMNESTRA.

Nowise, of death the fate —

Burdened by these things — supplicate!

Nor on Helena turn thy wrath

As the man-destroyer, as she who hath,

Being but one,

Many and many a soul undone

Of the men, the Danaoi —

And wrought immense annoy!

1468

CHOROS.

Daimon, who fallest

Upon this household and the double-raced

Tantalidai, a rule, minded like theirs displaced,

Thou rulest me with, now,

Whose heart thou gallest!

And on the body, like a hateful crow,

Stationed, all out of tune, his chant to chant

Doth Something vaunt!

1475

KLUTAIMNESTRA.

Now, of a truth, hast thou set upright

Thy mouth’s opinion, —

Naming the Sprite,

The triply gross,

O’er the race that has dominion:

For through him it is that Eros

The carnage-licker

In the belly is bred: ere ended quite

Is the elder throe — new ichor!
