Chorus: No, you have done well! Don't harness your lips to harmful speech, and don't give utterance to ill-omened words. You have liberated the entire city of Argos by deftly cutting off the heads of that pair of serpents.
Orestes [in sudden and intense terror]: Ah, ah! I see these hideous women looking like Gorgons – clad in dark-grey tunics and thickly wreathed with serpents! I can't stay here!
Chorus: Dearest of men to your father, what are these fancies that are whirling you about? Hold firm, don't be afraid – you have won a great victory!
Orestes: These afflictions are no fancies I am having: these are plainly my mother's wrathful hounds!
Chorus: Ah, the blood is still fresh on your hands; that, you see, is the cause of this confusion falling on your mind.
Orestes: Lord Apollo, there are more and more of them! And they're dripping a loathsome fluid from their eyes!
– Aeschylus, from The Libation-Bearers (458 BC), translated by Alan H. Sommerstein (2008)
