Agamemnon

Aeschylus

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

  1. But to think that these men should let their wanton tongues thus blossom into speech against me and cast about such insults, putting their fortune to the test! To reject wise counsel and insult their master!
Chorus
  1. It would not be like men of Argos to cringe before a man as low as you.
Aegisthus
  1. Ha! I will visit you with vengeance yet in days to come.
