Agamemnon

Aeschylus

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

  1. How voice my heartfelt love for you? To lie in this spider’s web, breathing forth your life in impious death! Alas, to lie on this ignoble bed, struck down in treacherous death
  2. wrought by a weapon of double edge wielded by your own wife’s hand!
Clytaemestra
  1. Neither do I think he met an ignoble death. And did he not himself by treachery bring ruin on his house?
