Euripides, Orestes, 579-584


πρὸς θεῶν — ἐν οὐ καλῷ μὲν ἐμνήσθην θεῶνand she did not keep his bed undefiled; and when her sin had found her out, she did not impose punishment on herself, but, to avoid paying the penalty to her husband, punished my father by death. By the gods! it is not a good time for me to mention the gods


φόνον δικάζων: εἰ δὲ δὴ τὰ μητέροςwhen defending the charge of murder; but if I consented by my silence to my mother’s conduct, what would the murdered man have done to me? Would he not now in hatred be tormenting me with the Furies? Or does my mother have goddesses as allies, but he does not, in his deeper wrong?


σιγῶν ἐπῄνουν, τί μ' ἂν ἔδρας' ὁ κατθανών;when defending the charge of murder; but if I consented by my silence to my mother’s conduct, what would the murdered man have done to me? Would he not now in hatred be tormenting me with the Furies? Or does my mother have goddesses as allies, but he does not, in his deeper wrong?


οὐκ ἄν με μισῶν ἀνεχόρευ' ̓Ερινύσιν;when defending the charge of murder; but if I consented by my silence to my mother’s conduct, what would the murdered man have done to me? Would he not now in hatred be tormenting me with the Furies? Or does my mother have goddesses as allies, but he does not, in his deeper wrong?


ἢ μητρὶ μὲν πάρεισι σύμμαχοι θεαίwhen defending the charge of murder; but if I consented by my silence to my mother’s conduct, what would the murdered man have done to me? Would he not now in hatred be tormenting me with the Furies? Or does my mother have goddesses as allies, but he does not, in his deeper wrong?


τῷ δ' οὐ πάρεισι, μᾶλλον ἠδικημένῳ;when defending the charge of murder; but if I consented by my silence to my mother’s conduct, what would the murdered man have done to me? Would he not now in hatred be tormenting me with the Furies? Or does my mother have goddesses as allies, but he does not, in his deeper wrong?
