before he can even say Of what land is this stranger? I will skewer him with my swift sword and lay him dead. The fury that has no fill of slaughter shall for her third and crowning drink drink unmixed blood!
Now you, Electra, keep strict watch over what happens inside the house,
so that our plans may fit together well. You addressing the Chorus had best keep a discreet tongue: be silent when there is need and speak only what the occasion demands. As for the rest, I call on him[*] to cast his glance this way and direct the contest of the sword for me. Exeunt Orestes, Pylades, and Electra
585
Chorus
Many are the horrors, dread and appalling, bred of earth, and the arms of the deep teem with hateful monsters. Likewise between heaven and earth
lights[*] hung high in the air draw near; and winged things and things that walk the earth can also tell of the stormy wrath of whirlwinds.
594
Chorus
But who can tell of mans overweening spirit,
and of the reckless passions of women hardened of soul, partners of the woes of mortals? Inordinate passion, overmastering the female,
gains a fatal victory over the wedded unions of beasts and humans alike.
602
Chorus
Let whoever is not flighty in his wits know this, when he has learned of the device of a lit brand contrived
by Thestius heartless daughter:[*] she destroyed her own child by burning the charred brand of the same age as he when, coming from his mothers womb, he cried out,
and it aged in pace with him through his life to the day decreed by fate.
612
Chorus
And there is in legend another murderous virgin to be loathed,[*]
who ruined a loved one at the bidding of his foes, when, lured by Minos gift, the Cretan necklace forged of gold, she with her dogs heart despoiled Nisus of his immortal lock
as he drew breath in unsuspecting sleep. And Hermes[*] overtook him.
623
Chorus
But since I have recalled tales of pitiless afflictions, it is the right time to tell of a marriage void of love,
an abomination to the house, and the plots devised by a wifes cunning against her warrior lord, against her lord revered with reason by his foes. But I honor the hearths of homes not heated by passions fires,
and in woman a spirit that shrinks from audacious deeds.
631
Chorus
Indeed the Lemnian[*] holds first place among evils in story: it has long been told with groans as an abominable calamity. Men compare each new horror to Lemnian troubles;
and because of a woeful deed abhorred by the gods a race has disappeared, cast out in infamy from among mortals. For no man reveres what is hated by the gods. Is there one of these tales I have gathered that I do not justly cite?
639
Chorus
But the keen and bitter sword is near the breast and drives home its blow at the bidding of Justice.
For truly the injustice of him who has unjustly transgressed the sovereign majesty of Zeus
lies on the ground trampled under foot.[*]
646
Chorus
The anvil of Justice is planted firm. Destiny fashions her arms and forges her sword quickly, and the famed and deeply brooding Fury is bringing the son into our house,
to requite at last the pollution of blood shed long ago.
652
Enter, with attendants, Orestes and Pylades before the palace
Orestes
Boy! Boy! Hear my knocking at the outer door! Who is inside? Boy! Boy! I say again, who is at home?
Again for the third time I call for some one to come out of the house, if by Aegisthus will it offers welcome to strangers.
Servant
Yes, yes, I hear. Of what land is the stranger, and whence?
Orestes
Announce me to the masters of the house, for it is in fact to them that I come bearing news.
And hurry, since the chariot of night is speeding on with darkness, and it is time for wayfarers to drop anchor in some house friendly to all guests. Tell some one to come forth who has authority over the house, the mistress in charge. But the master would be more fitting,
for then no delicacy in speaking makes words obscure: man speaks boldly to man and reveals his meaning without reserve. The Servant withdraws. Clytaemestra appears at the door with a maid-servant in attendance
Clytaemestra
Strangers, you have only to declare your need, for we have everything that suits this house: warm baths, beds to charm away fatigue,
