- And as for the other matter, fortune will ordain well.
- Let this man here help us with both.
- I will; but how will you find a way to kill your mother?
- Go to Clytemnestra, old man, and say this: report that I have given birth to a male child.
- That you have given birth some time ago, or quite recently?
- Ten days ago, in which a woman who has given birth stays pure.
- And how does this grant us the slaughter of your mother?
- She will come, when she hears of my childbirth pangs.
- How is that? Do you think she cares for you, child?
