Give ear now, O my father, in turn, to my griefs of many tears. The lament of thy two children over thy tomb bewails thee. And thy sepulchre hath received us who are alike suppliants and outcasts. What of these things is well? and what is without ills? Is not ours an invincible calamity?

Hear me too, O my father; in thoſe griefs
Which at thy ſepulchre thy children pour,

Alike the ſuppliant and the exile. Which,
Ah, which of these is well? Which without evils?

Vater, vernimm auch meine
schluchzenden Trauerrufe.
Beide Kinder am Grabe
335 singen dir Klagelieder,
Bettler beide, Verstoſsene beide.
Soll triumphieren das Böse?
Nirgend ein Schimmer von Freude,
Jammer ringsum.

Hear me too, even me, O father, hear!
Not by one child alone these groans, these tears are shed
395
Upon thy sepulchre.
Each, each, where thou art lowly laid,
Stands, a suppliant, homeless made:
Ah, and all is full of ill,
Comfort is there none to say!

Strive and wrestle as we may,
Still stands doom invincible.

Höre denn, Vater, auch meines Grams
335
Thränenreiche Klage!
An deinem Grabe klagt von zwei
Kindern ein Lied der Trauer.
Sie stehen verbannt und schublos
Vor deiner Gruft hier.
340
O gramreiches, o herbstes Leid!
Siegt denn ewig das Unheil?

Kommos, welcher den Rächer weckt (vgl. 326 f.) und die Motive der Handlung entwickelt zur Ermutigung und Stärkung des Orestes (510 ἐπειδὴ δρᾶν κατώρθωσαι φρενί). Derselbe wird durch eine anapästische Partie des Koryphaios eingeleitet und durch eine solche geschlossen und besteht aufserdem aus vier Teilen. Die erste Partie (314-421) zerfällt durch ein anapästisches System des Koryphaios (371-378) in zwei symmetrische Teile, deren Mitte wieder anapästische Systeme des Chorführers einnehmen, die sich entsprechen (339 - 343 = 399 - 403), während zu beiden Seiten eine Strophe des Orestes und eine Antistrophe der Elektra stehen, die auf der einen Seite durch eine Strophe, auf der anderen durch eine Antistrophe des Chors getrennt werden. Die Form des Ganzen ist also folgende: Or. Cho. El. Kor. Or. Cho, El. Kor. Or. Cho. El. Kor. Or. Cho. El.
