CLYTEMNESTRA
Worthy regard not less shalt thou receive;
Nor have the less fair welcome to this house.
Another all the same had brought thy news.
But time it is that strangers who have spent
The day in travel should their strength recruit.

[To an Attendant.]
To the men's chambers usher him as guest,
His escort too, and fellow-traveller.
There be they tended as befits this house.
Do ye my will as who must give account.
Ourselves will to the rulers of this house
Impart the tidings, and not poor in friends,
We will take counsel touching this mischance.

ὅστις κείραιτο: zu Ag. 625 . Elektra will den Gedanken des Chors auf Orestes lenken: „Ich allein könnte die Locke geweiht haben und thatsächlich gleicht die Locke meinen Haaren; da ich es nicht gethan habe, wie ihr wilst, muls man an Orestes denken.“ Vgl. Soph. Εl. 907 ἐξεπίσταμαι (Chrysothemis, welche die Locke gefunden hat, spricht) μή του τόδ' ἀγλάισμα πλὴν κείνου μολεῖν. τῷ γὰρ προσήκει πλήν γ᾽ ἐμοῦ καὶ σοῦ τόδε κἀγὼ μὲν οὐκ ἔδρασα, τοῦτ᾽ ἐπίσταμαι οὐδ᾽ αὖ σύ κτέ. und dazu Schol. τὸ μὲν ἀπὸ τῆς ὄψεως τοῦ βοστρύχου κινεῖσθαι ἐπὶ τὴν ἀλήθειαν γελοῖον· πιθανῶς οὖν ἐπάγει, ὅτι οὐδενὶ ἄλλῳ ἢ τῷ πάνυ συνημ μένῳ κατὰ γένος τὰ τοιαῦτα προσήκει.
