[136] νέμεσις. The ills rehearsed here, namely, impoverishment, the curse of heaven, and the reproach of men, may have suggested to Aeschylus the form of the passage in which Orestes describes what he had to expect if he had left his father unavenged, Choeph. 275-296; though additional judgments are interwoven with these. We have there (275), “ἀποχρημάτοισι ζημίαις”, (283) “ἄλλας τ᾽ ἐφώνει προσβολὰς Ἐρινύων”, and (291) “καὶ τοῖς τοιούτοις οὐδὲ κρατῆρος μέρος”.
