Chorus
Far away in the regions of darkness, where no ray of light ever enters, there is a country,
1485
where men sit at the table of the heroes and dwell with them always —except in the evening.
1490
Should any mortal meet the hero Orestes at night, he would soon be stripped and covered with blows from head to foot.
