Electra Monologue

From Electra by Euripides

female · anguished · 54 sec

And while he hears, I speak this word for omen in his ears: "Aegisthus dies, Aegisthus dies."... Ah me, My brother, should it strike not him, but thee, This wrestling with dark death, behold, I too Am dead that hour. Think of me as one true, Not one that lives. I have a sword made keen For this, and shall strike deep. I will go in And make all ready. If there come from thee Good tidings, all my house for ecstasy Shall cry; and if we hear that thou art dead, Then comes the other end!--Lo, I have said.
