Sleep on! awake! what skills your sleep to me--Me, among all the dead by you dishonoured--Me from whom never, in the world of death,Dieth this curse, "'Tis she who smote and slew",And shamed and scorned I roam? Awake, and hearMy plaint of dead men's hate intolerable.Me, sternly slain by them that should have loved,Me doth no god arouse him to avenge,Hewn down in blood by matricidal hands.

Lo, the earth's bound and limitary land,The Scythian steppe, the waste untrod of men!Look to it now, Hephaestus-thine it is,Thy Sire obeying, this arch-thief to clenchAgainst the steep-down precipice of rock,With stubborn links of adamantine chain.Look thou: thy flower, the gleaming plastic fire,He stole and lent to mortal man-a sinThat gods immortal make him rue today,Lessoned hereby to own th' omnipotenceOf Zeus, and to repent his love to man!
The House of Atreus. E-book. Formato EPUB Aeschylus Aeschylus - Books On Demand, 2019 -
I pray the gods to quit me of my toils,To close the watch I keep, this livelong year;For as a watch-dog lying, not at rest,Propped on one arm, upon the palace-roofOf Atreus' race, too long, too well I knowThe starry conclave of the midnight sky,Too well, the splendours of the firmament,The lords of light, whose kingly aspect shows-What time they set or climb the sky in turn-The year's divisions, bringing frost or fire.
