  1. To the Furies. It is for you to speak—I am only bringing in the case; for the prosecutor at the beginning, speaking first, shall rightly inform us of the matter.
Chorus
  1. We are many, but we will speak briefly. To Orestes. Answer our questions, one by one. Say first if you killed your mother.
Orestes
  1. I killed her. There is no denial of this.
