Chorus
The son of Atreus is no more, slain by the hand of his wife, and she herself hath paid the debt of blood by death,
and from her children’s hands received her doom. The god’s own bidding from his oracle was levelled against her, in the day that Agamemnon’s son set forth from Argos and visited his shrine;
1030
so he slew
1
her, aye, spilt his own mother’s blood. O Phoebus, O thou power divine, how can I believe the story?
1035
