AGAMEMNON.

Within their domes—new glory to grow ancient!"
Such things men having heard must praise the city
And army-leaders: and the grace which wrought them—
Of Zeus, shall honoured be. Thou hast my whole word.


CHOROS.

For, aye this breeds youth in the old—"to learn well."
But these things most the house and Klutaimnestra
Concern, 't is likely: while they make me rich, too.


KLUTAIMNESTRA.

When came that first night-messenger of fire
Proclaiming Ilion's capture and dispersion.
