Outstripping your desire. How eagerly
I hasten to my Phrygians, to tell1005
The news: the ocean covered with the wrecks
Of Argive ships; Mycenae overthrown;
The leader of a thousand leaders slain
(And thus atoning for the woes of Troy)
By woman's gift of wantonness and guile.
Make haste! I falter not, but thank the gods,1010
That I have lived to see my land avenged.
Clytemnestra: O maddened wretch, thy death I wait to see.
