Agamemnon

Aeschylus

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

  1. Heralded by a beacon of good tidings a swift report has spread throughout the town. Yet whether it is true, or some deception of the gods, who knows?
(A Second Elder)
  1. Who is so childish or so bereft of sense,
  2. once he has let his heart be fired by sudden news of a beacon fire, to despair if the story changes?
