Chorus
Which of the Achaeans will the earth-treading murderer slay
in their beds, as he pretends to be a four-footed beast on the ground? May he lay Menelaus low, slay Agamemnon and bring his head
255
to Helen’s hands, causing her to lament her evil kinsman, who has come against my city, against the land of
Troy
with his army of a thousand ships.
