Io Monologue from Prometheus Bound

From Prometheus Bound by Aeschylus

female · anguished · 38 sec

Eleleu! Eleleu! Once more the spasm and maddening frenzies inflame me--and the sting of the hornet, wrought by no fire, envenoms me; and with panic my heart throbs violently against my breast. My eyes, too, are rolling in a mazy whirl, and I am carried out of my course by the raging blast of madness, having no control of tongue, but my troubled words dash idly against the surges of loathsome calamity. [_Exit_ IO.
