Chorus
For the wrath of us, the Furies who keep watch on mortals, will not come stealthily upon such deeds [500] —I will let loose death in every form. And as he anticipates his neighbor's evils, one man will ask of another when hardship is to end or to decrease; [505] and the poor wretch offers the vain consolation of uncertain remedies.
Aeschylus. Aeschylus, with an English translation by Herbert Weir Smyth, Ph. D. in two volumes. 2. Eumenides. Herbert Weir Smyth, Ph. D. Cambridge, MA. Harvard University Press. 1926.
