How else could she have nurtured you, murderer, beneath her belt? Do you reject the nearest kinship, that of a mother?

Orestes

Apollo, give your testimony now. Explain, on my behalf,

whether I was justified in killing her. For I do not deny that I did it, as it is done. But decide whether this bloodshed was, to your mind, just or not, so that I may inform the court.
