killed your husband, you who are the relative of famous brothers.

Chorus LeaderOh, oh! My friends, did you hear a noise—or did an empty notion come to me?—like the underground rumbling from Zeus? Look, the breeze rises, bringing with it a sign.Mistress, Electra, leave the house!ElectraRushing outMy friends, what is it? How do we stand in the contest?LeaderI only know this; I hear a wailing that means bloodshed.ElectraI heard it also, far off, but still heard.LeaderYes, the sound is coming a long way, but it is clear.ElectraThe groan was of an Argive; was it from my friends?LeaderI don’t know; for the whole tune of the shout is confused.
