Back-falling he disgorged it. Then he vowed

Dark doom to the Pelopidae, and woes

Intolerable, while with his heel he spurned[n98]

The supper, and thus voiced the righteous curse:

Thus perish all the race of Pleisthenes!

See here the cause why Agamemnon died,

And why his death most righteous was devised

By me; for I, Thyestes’ thirteenth son,

While yet a swaddled babe, was driven away

To houseless exile with my hapless sire.
