Wer unter euch weiß, wo die Phokergäste sind,
Die, heißt es, uns verkünden, daß Orestes jüngst
1405
Im Wagenkampfe scheitert' und das Leben ließ?
(zu Elektra)
Dich, dich, ja dich befrag' ich, die du früher stets
So trozig warest: dich am ersten kümmert's wohl;
So, denk' ich, weißt du's auch am ersten kundzuthun.

1451. mvp-comment-682-1 To Aegisthus Electra means, 'They succeeded in obtaining a kindly welcome'-from Clytemnestra in her gladness, supr. 800. And in this sense κατήνυσαν is construed with the genitive after the analogy of τυγχάνω οι κυρίω. But the word is chosen so as to convey the further meaning-They have made an end of her,' or 'Have accomplished the deed against her.' Cp. Eur. Or. 89.
