Orestes: I am a stranger here, from Daulia in Phocis. I was travelling to Argos, carrying my own luggage on my own shoulders, just as I was when I arrived here, when a man I met said to me – neither of us knew the other – after asking and being told where I was going (he was Strophius the Phocian, I learned his name in our conversation): "Since you're bound for Argos anyway, sir, please remember carefully to tell his parents that Orestes is dead: don't forget on any account. Whether it turns out that the preferred decision in his family is to bring him home, or whether it is to bury him as a foreign resident, a permanent and perpetual alien, please convey back here their instructions about the man, who has been well wept over." That's all he said to me, and I've now said it too. Whether I'm actually speaking to the appropriate people, his relatives, I don't know, but it's proper that his father should know the news.
Clytemnestra: Ah me, we are completely, utterly ruined. Curse of this house, so hard to wrestle free of, how much you keep your eye on, even when it's placed well out of the way! Scoring hits at long range with well-aimed arrows, you strip me, wretched me, of my loved ones! And now Orestes – he was showing wisdom in keeping his feet clear of the deadly mire; but now, the hope there was in the house of a cure for your evil revelry – write it down as having betrayed us!
– Aeschylus, from The Libation-Bearers (458 BC), translated by Alan H. Sommerstein (2008)
