Χορός
θάρσει μοι, θάρσει, τέκνον.
175ἔτι μέγας οὐρανῷ
Ζεύς, ὃς ἐφορᾷ πάντα καὶ κρατύνει:
ᾧ τὸν ὑπεραλγῆ χόλον νέμουσα
μήθ᾽ οἷς ἐχθαίρεις ὑπεράχθεο μήτ᾽ ἐπιλάθου:
χρόνος γὰρ εὐμαρὴς θεός.
180οὔτε γὰρ ὁ τὰν Κρῖσαν
βούνομον ἔχων ἀκτὰν
παῖς Ἀγαμεμνονίδας ἀπερίτροπος
οὔθ᾽ ὁ παρὰ τὸν Ἀχέροντα θεὸς ἀνάσσων. Ἠλέκτρα
185ἀλλ᾽ ἐμὲ μὲν ὁ πολὺς ἀπολέλοιπεν ἤδη
βίοτος ἀνέλπιστος, οὐδ᾽ ἔτ᾽ ἀρκῶ:
ἅτις ἄνευ τεκέων κατατάκομαι,
ἇς φίλος οὔτις ἀνὴρ ὑπερίσταται,
ἀλλ᾽ ἁπερεί τις ἔποικος ἀναξία
190οἰκονομῶ θαλάμους πατρός, ὧδε μὲν
ἀεικεῖ σὺν στολᾷ,
κεναῖς δ᾽ ἀμφίσταμαι τραπέζαις.
