Orestes: You don't see these creatures, I do! I'm being driven, driven away! I can't stay here! [He staggers off, in the same direction from which he entered at the start of the play.]
Chorus:
May you prosper, and may god willingly watch over you and protect you with timely strokes of fortune!
See, this is now the third tempest
that has blown like a squall
upon the royal house, and come to an end.
What first began it were the sad sufferings
of him who devoured his children;
the second time the victim was a man, a king,
as, slain in his bath, there perished the man
who led the Achaeans in war;
and now again, thirdly, there has come from somewhere a saviour –
or should I say, death?
So where will it end, where will the power of Ruin
sink into sleep and cease?
– Aeschylus, from The Libation-Bearers (458 BC), translated by Alan H. Sommerstein (2008)
