Agamemnon

Aeschylus

Aeschylus, Volume 2. Smyth, Herbert Weir, translator. London; New York: William Heinemann; G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1926.

  1. Ah, damned woman, will you do this thing? Your husband, the partner of your bed, when you have cheered him with the bath, will you—how shall I tell the end?
  2. Soon it will be done. Now this hand, now that, she stretches forth!
Chorus
  1. Not yet do I comprehend; for now, after riddles, I am bewildered by dark oracles.
