Clytemnestra+2



I wonder- was it worth it? To see me sitting here in my palace, Drowned in the myriad of riches, One would think I am happy as can be. But I am miserable because of the harassment I receive. Many, if not all, Greeks denounce me. And those who at one time respected me, spit at me in the streets. Worst to come, I am now to be the victim of a deadly act of revenge. Oh don't seem so surprised Ageisthus; you are to die along with me. Orestes, my son, is the leader of the assassins. The day of Agamemnon's murder was magnificent, But its aftermath is dreadful. It was right to kill him, But would I have done it if I knew the cost? Yes, I know I would have. I would have slaughtered him a thousand times again Just to see him fall. Agamemnon deserved what he got, So, why am I the only one who sees that? It was right to kill him And I should not be punished for that.
