AGAMEMNON.
Mount Arachnaios here, the city's neighbour;
And then darts to this roof of the Atreidai
This light of Idé's fire not unforefathered!

My husband having sent me news from Troia.

The gods, indeed, anon will I pray, woman!
But now, these words to hear, and sate my wonder
Thoroughly, I am fain—if twice thou tell them.
KLUTAIMNESTRA.
Troia do the Achaioi hold, this same day.
