Herald:
[Turning towards the palace] Hail, palace, beloved home of my kings, and august seats, and you deities who face the sun!* Let these eyes of yours be bright, if they ever have been before, as you welcome your king home in glory at long last; for he has come, bringing light out of darkness to you and to all these people – King Agamemnon! [Addressing the people of Argos] Give him a noble welcome, for that is truly proper, when he has dug up Troy with the mattock of Zeus the Avenger, with which the ground has been worked over and the seed of the whole country destroyed. Such is the yoke that has been cast upon Troy by the son of Atreus, our senior king, who has come home a happy man! He deserves to be honoured above all other mortals now alive: neither Paris, nor the city that has paid its due together with him, can boast that what they did was greater than what they have suffered. Having been found guilty of abduction and theft, he has both lost his booty and caused his father's house to be mown down to the very ground in utter destruction: the family of Priam have paid double for their crime.
– Aeschylus, from Agamemnon (458 BC), translated by Alan H. Sommerstein (2008)
*divinities who had shrines in front of the entrance to a building; perhaps the term was originally applied to shrines in front of temples (whose entrances normally faced the rising sun) and later generalized. In front of Agamemnon's palace, as in front of many real Athenian homes, there is certainly a shrine of Apollo Agyieus and probably an image of Hermes; we do not know whether there are also shrines of one or more other deities.
