From the truth of his mind as he toils intent?
1551
KLUTAIMNESTRA.
It belongs not to thee to declare
This object of care!
By us did he fall — down there!
Did he die — down there! and down, no less,
We will bury him there, and not beneath
The wails of the household over his death:
But Iphigeneia, — with kindliness, —
His daughter, — as the case requires,
Facing him full, at the rapid-flowing
Passage of Groans shall — both hands throwing
Around him — kiss that kindest of sires!
1560
CHOROS.
This blame comes in the place of blame:
Hard battle it is to judge each claim.
He is borne away who bears away:
And the killer has all to pay.
And this remains while Zeus is remaining,
The doer shall suffer in time — for, such his ordaining.
Who may cast out of the House its cursed brood?
The race is to Até glued!
1567
KLUTAIMNESTRA.
Thou hast gone into this oracle
With a true result. For me, then, — I will
— To the Daimon of the Pleisthenidai
Making an oath — with all these things comply
Hard as they are to bear. For the rest —
Going from out this House, a guest,
