Ὀρέστης

φεῦ·

γενναῖον ἄνδρʼ ἔλεξας, εὖ τε δραστέον.

Ἠλέκτρα

εἰ δή ποθʼ ἥξει γʼ ἐς δόμους ὁ νῦν ἀπών.

Ὀρέστης

μήτηρ δέ σʼ ἡ τεκοῦσα ταῦτʼ ἠνέσχετο;

Ἠλέκτρα

γυναῖκες ἀνδρῶν, ὦ ξένʼ, οὐ παίδων φίλαι.
265

Ὀρέστης

τίνος δέ σʼ οὕνεχʼ ὕβρισʼ Αἴγισθος τάδε;

Ἠλέκτρα

τεκεῖν μʼ ἐβούλετʼ ἀσθενῆ, τοιῷδε δούς.

Ὀρέστης

ὡς δῆθε παῖδας μὴ τέκοις ποινάτορας;

Ἠλέκτρα

τοιαῦτʼ ἐβούλευσʼ· ὧν ἐμοὶ δοίη δίκην.

Ὀρέστης

οἶδεν δέ σʼ οὖσαν παρθένον μητρὸς πόσις;
270

Ἠλέκτρα

οὐκ οἶδε· σιγῇ τοῦθʼ ὑφαιρούμεσθά νιν.

Ὀρέστης

αἵδʼ οὖν φίλαι σοι τούσδʼ ἀκούουσιν λόγους;

Ἠλέκτρα

ὥστε στέγειν γε τἀμὰ καὶ σʼ ἔπη καλῶς.

Ὀρέστης

τί δῆτʼ Ὀρέστης πρὸς τόδʼ, Ἄργος ἢν μόλῃ;

Ἠλέκτρα

ἤρου τόδʼ; αἰσχρόν γʼ εἶπας· οὐ γὰρ νῦν ἀκμή;
275

Ὀρέστης

ἐλθὼν δὲ δὴ πῶς φονέας ἂν κτάνοι πατρός;

Ἠλέκτρα

τολμῶν ὑπʼ ἐχθρῶν οἷʼ ἐτολμήθη πατήρ.

Ὀρέστης

ἦ καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ μητέρʼ ἂν τλαίης κτανεῖν;

Ἠλέκτρα

ταὐτῷ γε πελέκει τῷ πατὴρ ἀπώλετο.

Ὀρέστης

λέγω τάδʼ αὐτῷ, καὶ βέβαια τἀπὸ σοῦ;
280

Ἠλέκτρα

θάνοιμι μητρὸς αἷμʼ ἐπισφάξασʼ ἐμῆς.

Ὀρέστης

φεῦ·

εἴθʼ ἦν Ὀρέστης πλησίον κλύων τάδε.

Ἠλέκτρα

ἀλλʼ, ὦ ξένʼ, οὐ γνοίην ἂν εἰσιδοῦσά νιν.

Ὀρέστης

νέα γάρ, οὐδὲν θαῦμʼ, ἀπεζεύχθης νέου.

Ἠλέκτρα

εἷς ἂν μόνος νιν τῶν ἐμῶν γνοίη φίλων.
285

Ὀρέστης

ἆρʼ ὃν λέγουσιν αὐτὸν ἐκκλέψαι φόνου;

Ἠλέκτρα

πατρός γε παιδαγωγὸς ἀρχαῖος γέρων.

Ὀρέστης

ὁ κατθανὼν δὲ σὸς πατὴρ τύμβου κυρεῖ;

Ἠλέκτρα

ἔκυρσεν ὡς ἔκυρσεν, ἐκβληθεὶς δόμων.

Ὀρέστης

οἴμοι, τόδʼ οἷον εἶπας· — αἴσθησις γὰρ οὖν
290

κἀκ τῶν θυραίων πημάτων δάκνει βροτούς.

λέξον δʼ, ἵνʼ εἰδὼς σῷ κασιγνήτῳ φέρω

λόγους ἀτερπεῖς, ἀλλʼ ἀναγκαίους κλύειν.

ἔνεστι δʼ οἶκτος ἀμαθίᾳ μὲν οὐδαμοῦ,

σοφοῖσι δʼ ἀνδρῶν· καὶ γὰρ οὐδʼ ἀζήμιον
295

γνώμην ἐνεῖναι τοῖς σοφοῖς λίαν σοφήν.

Χορός

κἀγὼ τὸν αὐτὸν τῷδʼ ἔρον ψυχῆς ἔχω.

πρόσω γὰρ ἄστεως οὖσα τἀν πόλει κακὰ

οὐκ οἶδα, νῦν δὲ βούλομαι κἀγὼ μαθεῖν.

Orestes

Ah! You have described a noble man, and he must be treated well.

Electra

Yes, if ever the one now absent comes home.

Orestes

But did your mother, who gave you birth, endure this?

Electra

Women love their husbands, stranger, not their children.
265

Orestes

Why did Aegisthus insult you in this way?

Electra

He planned for me to bear powerless children, when he gave me to such a man.

Orestes

So that you might not bear sons to punish him, of course?

Electra

That was his plan; may he make amends to me for it!

Orestes

Does your mother’s husband know that you are a virgin?
270

Electra

He does not know; we steal that from him by our silence.

Orestes

Are these women who hear our talk friends of yours ?

Electra

They will keep both your words and mine well hidden.

Orestes

What then could Orestes do in this matter if he comes to Argos ?

Electra

Do you ask this? You have said a shameful word; isn’t it the critical time now?
275

Orestes

But if he does come, how might he kill his father’s murderers?

Electra

By daring such things as his enemies dared against my father.

Orestes

And would you dare, with him, to kill your mother?

Electra

Yes, with that same axe by which my father died.

Orestes

Am I to tell him this, and that your purpose is steadfast?
280

Electra

Once I had shed my mother’s blood, I might die!

Orestes

Ah! Would that Orestes were near by, to hear that!

Electra

But, stranger, I would not know him if I saw him.

Orestes

No wonder, for you were both young when you were parted.

Electra

There is only one of my friends who would recognize him.
285

Orestes

The man who is said to have stolen him away from murder?

Electra

Yes, the old man, my father’s old servant.

Orestes

Did the dead man, your father, find burial?

Electra

He found what he could, cast out of the house.

Orestes

Alas, the things you have said! For perception of suffering, even another’s, gnaws at mortals. Speak, so that when I know, I may tell your brother the story, unpleasant, but necessary to hear. Pity is not present at all in clownishness,
290

but in wise men. And indeed it is not without mischief for the wise to have overly profound thoughts.
295

Chorus Leader

And I have the same desire in my heart as this man. Being far from the town, I do not know the city’s scandals, and now I want to learn them.

Ein edler Mann das, dem man schon vergelten muß!

Elektra.

Kommt er dereinst nach Hause, der nun ferne weilt.

Orestes.

Und ließ die Mutter dieses zu, die dich gebar?
260

Elektra.

Die Frauen sind den Gatten, nicht den Kindern, hold.

Orestes.

Weßwegen that Aegisthos diese Schmach dir an?

Elektra.

Damit ich Schwache zeugte, solchem Mann vermählt.

Orestes.

Daß dir kein Sohn erblühe, der ihn züchtige?

Elektra.

So meint' er böslich. Büßt' er mir dereinst dafur!
265

Orestes.

Und daß du Jungfrau bliebest, weiß Aegisthos dies?

Elektra.

Mitnichten weiß er's: das verhehlen wir vor ihm.

(auf den Chor deutend).

Orestes

Sind dir die Frauen freundlich, die uns hören hier?

Elektra.

Treu werden sie verschweigen, was ich sprach und du.

Orestes.

Was that' Orestes, wenn er kåm' in dieses Land?
270

Elektra.

Das fragst du? Schmählich! Kam es nicht zum Aeußersten?

Orestes.

Des Vaters Mörder todten, sprich, wie könnt' er das?

Elektra.

Kühn wagend, was am Vater kühn der Feind gewagt.

Orestes.

Und ihm vereint auch wagtest du den Muttermord?

Elektra.

Vereint, mit jenem Beile, das den Vater traf.
275

Orestes.

Und soll ich das ihm melden als dein festes Wort?

Elektra.

O sturb' ich, wenn ich meiner Mutter Blut vergoß!

Orestes.

Ha, stånd' Orestes nahe hier und hörte das!

Elektra.

Ich wurd' ihn nicht erkennen, Freund, erblickt' ich ihn.

Orestes.

Kein Wunder: Kind noch, wurdest du vom Kind getrennt.
280

Elektra.

Erkennen wurd' ihn Einer unsrer Freunde nur.

Orestes.

Der, der ihn heimlich, sagen sie, dem Tod' entriß?

Elektra.

Der edle Greis, der meines Vaters Pfleger war.

Orestes.

Ward deinem todten Vater auch ein Grab zu Theil?

Elektra.

So, wie's ihm ward: aus seinem Hause warf man ihn.
285

Orestes.

O wehe mir! Was sagst du? Denn mit Gram erfüllt

Gefühl für fremde Leiden auch - der Menschen Herz.

Doch sprich, damit ich's deinem Bruder melden kann,

Das Wort der Trauer, das er doch vernehmen muß.

Theilnahme fühlt ja nimmermehr des Thoren Brust,
290

Doch wohl des weisen Mannes, und es bringt Gefahr,

Wenn allzuhohes Wissen auch im Weisen wohnt.¹

Der Chor.

Im Herzen, Jungfrau, heg' auch ich denselben Wunsch :

Von Argos ferne, weiß ich nicht, was Boses dort

Geschehn; erfahren möchte nun auch ich davon.
295

Elektra.
