Helen
You have told the truth and have convinced me, maiden. [Yes, I will send my daughter for you are right.] Hermione, my child, come out, before the palace.

Take these libations and these tresses of mine in your hands, and go pour round Clytemnestra's tomb a mingled cup of honey, milk, and frothing wine; then stand upon the heaped-up grave, and say this: “Helen, your sister, sends you these libations as her gift, fearing herself to approach your tomb from terror of the Argive mob” and bid her harbor kindly thoughts towards me and you and my husband; towards these two wretched sufferers, too, whom the re due from me to a sister. Now go, my child, and hurry; and soon as you have made the libations at the tomb, think of your return.Helen goes into the palace as Hermione and her attendants depart with the offerings.
Electra

Chorus Leader
Hush! hush! I caught the sound of a foot-fall on the road near the house.
Electra
My dearest friends, it is Hermione advancing into the middle of the bloodshed; let our clamor cease. For she comes headlong into the meshes of the net. The prey will be good, if it is caught. Take up your places again with looks composed and faces not betraying what has happened; I too will have a gloomy look, as if I knew nothing of what has been done.Hermione enters.
Ah! maiden, have you come Hermione enters.
Ah! maiden, have you come from wreathing Clytemnestra's grave and pouring libations to the dead?
Hermione
Yes, I have returned after securing her favor; but I was filled with some alarm about a cry I heard from the palace as I was still at a distance.
Electra
But why? Our present lot gives cause for groans.
Hermione
Oh, don't say so! What is your news?
Electra
Argos has sentenced Orestes and me to death.
Hermione
