"The Agamemnonian wife!"

For, showing himself in sign

Of the spouse of the corpse thou dost see,

Did the ancient bitter avenging-ghost

Of Atreus, savage host,

Pay the man here as price—

A full-grown for the young one's sacrifice.

Cho. That no cause, indeed, of this killing art thou,

Who shall be witness-bearer?

How shall he bear it—how?
