    And hold as nought his mother's right of kin��

  APOLLO

    Yea�察�for it stands not with a common death��

    That he should die�察�a chieftain and a king

    Decked with the sceptre which high heaven confers´

    Die�察�and by female hands�察�not smitten down

    By a far´shooting bow�察�held stalwartly

    By some strong Amazon。 Another doom

    Was his�此�O Pallas�察�hear�察�and ye who sit

    In judgment�察�to discern this thing aright� �

    She with a specious voice of welcome true

    Hailed him�察�returning from the mighty mart

    Where war for life gives fame�察�triumphant home��

    Then o'er the laver�察�as he bathed himself��

    She spread from head to foot a covering net��

    And in the endless mesh of cunning robes

    Enwound and trapped her lord�察�and smote him down。

    Lo�察�ye have heard what doom this chieftain met��

    The majesty of Greece�察�the fleet's high lord��

    Such as I tell it�察�let it gall your ears��

    Who stand as judges to decide this cause。

  LEADER

    Zeus�察�as thou sayest�察�holds a father's death

    As first of crimes�察�yet he of his own act

    Cast into chains his father�察�Cronus old��

    How suits that deed with that which now ye tell��

    O ye who judge�察�I bid ye mark my words��

  APOLLO

    O monsters loathed of all�察�O scorn of gods��

    He that hath bound may loose�此�a cure there is。

    Yea�察�many a plan that can unbind the chain。

    But when the thirsty dust sucks up man's blood

    Once shed in death�察�he shall arise no more。

    No chant nor charm for this my Sire hath wrought。

    All else there is�察�he moulds and shifts at will��

    Not scant of strength nor breath�察�whate'er he do。

  LEADER

    Think yet�察�for what acquittal thou dost plead��

    He who hath shed a mother's kindred blood��

    Shall he in Argos dwell�察�where dwelt his sire��

    How shall he stand before the city's shrines��

    How share the clansmen's holy lustral bowl��

  APOLLO

    This too I answer�察�mark a soothfast word

    Not the true parent is the woman's womb

    That bears the child�察�she doth but nurse the seed

    New´sown�此�the male is parent�察�she for him��

    As stranger for a stranger�察�hoards the germ

    Of life�察�unless the god its promise blight。

    And proof hereof before you will I set。

    Birth may from fathers�察�without mothers�察�be��

    See at your side a witness of the same��

    Athena�察�daughter of Olympian Zeus��

    Never within the darkness of the womb

    Fostered nor fashioned�察�but a bud more bright

    Than any goddess in her breast might bear。

    And I�察�O Pallas�察�howsoe'er I may��

    Henceforth will glorify thy town�察�thy clan��

    And for this end have sent my suppliant here

    Unto thy shrine�察�that he from this time forth

    Be loyal unto thee for evermore��

    O goddess´queen�察�and thou unto thy side

    Mayst win and hold him faithful�察�and his line��

    And that for aye this pledge and troth remain

    To children's children of AtheniaD seed。

  ATHENA

    Enough is said�察�I bid the judges now

    With pure intent deliver just award。

  LEADER

    We too have shot our every shaft of speech��

    And now abide to hear the doom of law。

                                       ATHENA ��to APOLLO and ORESTES��

    Say�察�how ordaining shall I 'scape your blame��

  APOLLO

    I spake�察�ye heard�察�enough。 O stranger men��

    Heed well your oath as ye decide the cause。

  ATHENA

    O men of Athens�察�ye who first do judge

    The law of bloodshed�察�hear me now ordain。

    Here to all time for Aegeus' Attic host

    Shall stand this council´court of judges sworn��

    Here the tribunal�察�set on Ares' Hill

    Where camped of old the tented Amazons��

    What time in hate of Theseus they assailed

    Athens�察�and set against her citadel

    A counterwork of new sky´pointing towers��

    And there to Ares held their sacrifice��

    Where now the rock hath name�察�even Ares' Hill。

    And hence shall Reverence and her kinsman Fear

    Pass to each free man's heart�察�by day and night

    Enjoining�察�Thou shalt do no unjust thing��

    So long as law stands as it stood of old

    Unmarred by civic change。 Look you�察�the spring

    Is pure�察�but foul it once with influx vile

    And muddy clay�察�and none can drink thereof。

    Therefore�察�O citizens�察�I bid ye bow

    In awe to this command�察�Let no man live��

    Uncurbed by law nor curbed by tyranny��

    Nor banish ye the monarchy of Awe

    Beyond the walls�察�untouched by fear divine��

    No man doth justice in the world of men。

    Therefore in purity and holy dread

    Stand and revere�察�so shall ye have and hold

    A saving bulwark of the state and land��

    Such as no man hath ever elsewhere known��

    Nor in far Scythia�察�nor in Pelops' realm。

    Thus I ordain it now�察�a council´court

    Pure and unsullied by the lust of gain��

    Sacred and swift to vengeance�察�wakeful ever

    To champion men who sleep�察�the country's guard。

    Thus have I spoken�察�thus to mine own clan

    Commended it for ever。 Ye who judge��

    Arise�察�take each his vote�察�mete out the right��

    Your oath revering。 Lo�察�my word is said。



    ��The twelve judges come forward�察�one by one�察�to the urns of

        decision�察�the first votes�察�as each of the others follows�察�the

        LEADER and APOLLO speak alternately。��



  LEADER

    I rede ye well�察�beware� �nor put to shame��

    In aught�察�this grievous company of hell。

  APOLLO

    I too would warn you�察�fear mine oracles´

    From Zeus they are�察�nor make them void of fruit。

  LEADER

    Presumptuous is thy claim�察�blood´guilt to judge��

    And false henceforth thine oracles shall be。

  APOLLO

    Failed then the counsels of my sire�察�when turned

    Ixion�察�first of slayers�察�to his side��

  LEADER

    These are but words�察�but I�察�if justice fail me��

    Will haunt this land in grim and deadly deed。

  APOLLO

    Scorn of the younger and the elder gods

    Art thou�此�'tis I that shall prevail anon。

  LEADER

    Thus didst thou too of old in Pheres' halls��

    O'erreaching Fate to make a mortal deathless。

  APOLLO

    Was it not well�察�my worshipper to aid��

    Then most of all when hardest was the need��

  LEADER

    I say thou didst annul the lots of life��

    Cheating with wine the deities of eld。

  APOLLO

    I say thou shalt anon�察�thy pleadings foiled��

    Spit venom vainly on thine enemies。

  LEADER

    Since this young god o'errides mine ancient right��

    I tarry but to claim your law�察�not knowing

    If wrath of mine shall blast your state or spare。

  ATHENA

    Mine is the right to add the final vote��

    And I award it to Orestes' cause。

    For me no mother bore within her womb��

    And�察�save for wedlock evermore eschewed��

    I vouch myself the champion of the man��

    Not of the woman�察�yea�察�with all my soul�察�

    In heart�察�as birth�察�a father's child alone。

    Thus will I not too heinously regard

    A woman's death who did her husband slay��

    The guardian of her home�察�and if the votes

    Equal do fall�察�Orestes shall prevail。

    Ye of the judges who are named thereto��

    Swiftly shake forth the lots from either urn。

                          ��Two judges come forward�察�one to each urn。��

  ORESTES

    O bright Apollo�察�what shall be the end��

  LEADER

    O Night�察�dark mother mine�察�dost mark these things��

  ORESTES

    Now shall my doom be life�察�or strangling cords。

  LEADER

    And mine�察�lost honour or a wider sway。

  APOLLO

    O stranger judges�察�sum aright the count

    Of votes cast forth�察�and�察�parting them�察�take heed

    Ye err not in decision。 The default

    Of one vote only bringeth ruin deep��

    One�察�cast aright。 doth stablish house and home。

  ATHENA

    Behold�察�this man is free from guilt of blood��

    For half the votes condemn him�察�half set free��

  ORESTES

    O Pallas�察�light and safety of my home��

    Thou�察�thou hast given me back to dwell once more

    In that my fatherland�察�amerced of which

    I wandered�察�now shall Grecian lips say this��

    The man is Argive once again�察�and dwells

    Again within kiss father's wealthy hall��

    By Pallas saved�察�by Loxias�察�and by Him��

    The great third saviour�察�Zeus omnipotent´

    Who thus in pity for my father's fate

    Doth pluck me from my doom�察�beholding these��

    Confederates of my mother。 Lo�察�I pass

    To mine own home�察�but proffering this vow

    Unto thy land and people�此�Nevermore��

    Thro' all the manifold years of Time to be��

    Shall any chieftain of mine Argive land

    Bear hitherward his spears for fight arrayed。

    For we�察�though lapped in earth we then shall lie��

    By thwart adversities will work our will

    On them who shall transgress this oath of mine��

    Paths of despair and journeyings ill´starred

    For them ordaining�察�till their task they rue。

    But if this oath be rightly kept�察�to them

    Will we the dead be full of grace�察�the while

    With loyal league they honour Pallas' town。

    And now farewell�察�thou and thy city's folk´

    Firm be thine arms' grasp�察�closing with thy foes��

    And�察�strong to save�察�bring victory to thy spear。

                                         ��ORESTES and APOLLO depart。��

  CHORUS ��chanting��

        Woe on you�察�younger gods� �the ancient right

        Ye have o'erridden�察�rent it from my hands。



        I am dishonoured of you�察�thrust to scorn��

               But heavily my wrath

    Shall on this land fling forth the drops that blast and burn��

        Venom of vengeance�察�that shall work such scathe

        As I have suffered�察�where that dew shall fall��

               Shall leafless blight arise��

    Wasting Earth's offspring�察�Justice�察�hear my call� �

    And thorough all the land in deadly wise

    Shall scatter venom�察�to exude again

                In pestilence on men。

    What cry avails me now�察�what deed of blood
