Euripides, Orestes, 460-467
στείχει πρὸς ἡμᾶς, οὗ μάλιστ' αἰδώς μ' ἔχει approaches us, the man of all others I most shrink from facing, because of the deed I have done. For he nursed me when I was small, and lavished on me many a fond caress, carrying me about in his arms as the son of Agamemnon; and so did Leda;
ἐς ὄμματ' ἐλθεῖν τοῖσιν ἐξειργασμένοις. approaches us, the man of all others I most shrink from facing, because of the deed I have done. For he nursed me when I was small, and lavished on me many a fond caress, carrying me about in his arms as the son of Agamemnon; and so did Leda;
καὶ γάρ μ' ἔθρεψε σμικρὸν ὄντα, πολλὰ δὲ approaches us, the man of all others I most shrink from facing, because of the deed I have done. For he nursed me when I was small, and lavished on me many a fond caress, carrying me about in his arms as the son of Agamemnon; and so did Leda;
φιλήματ' ἐξέπλησε, τὸν ̓Αγαμέμνονος approaches us, the man of all others I most shrink from facing, because of the deed I have done. For he nursed me when I was small, and lavished on me many a fond caress, carrying me about in his arms as the son of Agamemnon; and so did Leda;
παῖδ' ἀγκάλαισι περιφέρων, Λήδα θ' ἅμα approaches us, the man of all others I most shrink from facing, because of the deed I have done. For he nursed me when I was small, and lavished on me many a fond caress, carrying me about in his arms as the son of Agamemnon; and so did Leda;
τιμῶντέ μ' οὐδὲν ἧσσον ἢ Διοσκόρω: for they both honored me no less than the Dioscuri.
οἷς, ὦ τάλαινα καρδία ψυχή τ' ἐμή Ah me! my wretched heart and soul, it was a sorry return I made them! What darkness can I find for my face? What cloud can I spread before me in my efforts to escape the old man’s eye? Tyndareu
ἀπέδωκ' ἀμοιβὰς οὐ καλάς. τίνα σκότον Ah me! my wretched heart and soul, it was a sorry return I made them! What darkness can I find for my face? What cloud can I spread before me in my efforts to escape the old man’s eye? Tyndareu
