Quote #7
CLYTEMNESTRA
vouchsafe
That ever thus exempt from harms I rule
The Atridae's home and kingdom, in full life,
Partaking with the friends I live with now
All fair prosperity, and with my children,
Save those who hate and vex me bitterly. (649-654)
Clytemnestra's prayer is full of the worst kind of arrogance.
