Chorus

As to Priam and his sons justice came at last in crushing retribution, so to Agamemnon’s house came a twofold lion, twofold slaughter.¹
935

The exile, the suppliant of Pytho , has fulfilled his course to the utmost, justly urged on by counsels from the gods.
940

942

Chorus

Oh raise a shout of triumph over the escape of our master’s house from its misery and the wasting of its wealth by two who were unclean,

its grievous fortune!
945

946

Chorus

And he has come whose part is the crafty vengeance of stealthy attack, and in the battle his hand was guided by her who is in very truth daughter of Zeus, breathing murderous wrath on her foes.

We mortals aim true to the mark when we call her Justice.²
950

942a

Chorus

Oh raise a shout of triumph over the escape of our master’s house from its misery and the wasting of its wealth by two who were unclean,

953

Chorus

The commands proclaimed loudly by Loxias, tenant of the mighty cavern shrine of Parnassus , assail with guileless guile

the mischief now become inveterate. May the divine word prevail that so I may not serve the wicked!³

It is right to revere the rule of heaven.
960

961

Chorus

Look, the light has come, and I am freed from the cruel curb that restrained our household. House, rise up! You have lain too long prostrate on the ground.

965

Chorus

But soon time that accomplishes all will pass the portals of our house, and then all pollution will be expelled from the hearth by cleansing rites that drive out calamity. The dice of fortune will turn as they fall and lie
965

with faces all lovely to behold, favorably disposed to whoever stays in our house.
970

972

Chorus

Look, the light has come,

and I am freed from the cruel curb that restrained our household. House, rise up! You have lain too long prostrate on the ground.
