Chorus
’Tis time to use our forethought, ere the host of Argos approach our frontier,
for exceeding fierce are the warriors of Mycenae, and in the present case still more than heretofore. For all heralds observe this custom, to exaggerate what happened twofold. Bethink thee what a tale he will tell his master
290
of his dreadful treatment, how he came very near losing his life altogether.
