Those kinsfolk by the marriage-side! I think,

Brother Akastos may be classed with me,

Among the beasts, not men, if he omit

Avenging upon thee his sister's blood!"

"Go to perdition, with thy housemate too!

Grow old all childlessly, with child alive,

Just as ye merit! for to me, at least,

Beneath the same roof ne'er do ye return.

And did I need by heralds' help renounce

The ancestral hearth, I had renounced the same!
