And you have done well. Therefore do not yoke your tongue to an ill-omened speech, nor let your lips give vent to evil forebodings,
since you have freed the whole realm of Argos by lopping off the heads of two serpents with a fortunate stroke.
Orestes
Ah, ah! You handmaidens, look at them there: like Gorgons, wrapped in sable garments, entwined with
swarming snakes! I can stay no longer.
1051
Chorus
What fantasies disturb you, dearest of sons to your father? Wait, do not be all overcome by fear.
