Αἴγισθος
ἰδεῖν ἐλέγξαι τ᾽ αὖ θέλω τὸν ἄγγελον,
εἴτ᾽ αὐτὸς ἦν θνῄσκοντος ἐγγύθεν παρών,
εἴτ᾽ ἐξ ἀμαυρᾶς κληδόνος λέγει μαθών.
οὔτοι φρέν᾽ ἂν κλέψειεν ὠμματωμένην.

Χορός
855
Ζεῦ Ζεῦ , τί λέγω , πόθεν ἄρξωμαι
τάδ᾽ ἐπευχομένη κἀπιθεάζουσ᾽,
ὑπὸ δ᾽ εὐνοίας
πῶς ἴσον εἰποῦσ᾽ ἀνύσωμαι;
νῦν γὰρ μέλλουσι μιανθεῖσαι
860
πειραὶ κοπάνων ἀνδροδαΐκτων
ἢ πάνυ θήσειν Ἀγαμεμνονίων
οἴκων ὄλεθρον διὰ παντός,
ἢ πῦρ καὶ φῶς ἐπ᾽ ἐλευθερίᾳ
δαίων ἀρχάς τε πολισσονόμους
865

δισσοῖς μέλλει θεῖος Ὀρέστης
ἅψειν . εἴη δ᾽ ἐπὶ νίκῃ.

ἔα ἔα μάλα:
πῶς ἔχει ; πῶς κέκρανται δόμοις;

ὅπως δοκῶμεν τῶνδ᾽ ἀναίτιαι κακῶν
εἶναι : μάχης γὰρ δὴ κεκύρωται τέλος.
