Dort auch stürmten in blutigem Kampf vierfüßige Rosse, 1
470
Und schwarz wogt' hinter ihnen auf der Staub.
Und solcher lanzenkundigen
Männer König, ihren Gemahl, erschlug 2
Das ruchlose Weib. Drum werden dich
Die Götter in den Tod senden; ich sehe noch,
475
Wie vom Nacken das Blut dir stromt,
Den der entseelende Stahl getroffen!
Der greise Erzieher Agamemnons tritt auf. Bald hernach Elektra.
