I see that though living I mourn in vain before a tomb.[*]
Orestes
Yes, for my fathers fate has marked out this destiny for you.
Clytaemestra
Oh no! I myself bore and nourished this serpent!
Orestes
Yes, the terror from your dream was indeed a prophet. You killed him whom you should not; so suffer what should not be.
He forces Clytaemestra within; Pylades follows
