"My word, how mortals take the gods to task! All their afflictions come from us, we hear. And what of their own failings? Greed and follydouble the suffering in the lot of man. See how Aigisthos, for his double portion,stole Agamemnon's wife and killed the soldier on his homecoming day. And yet Aigisthos knew what doom lay in this."
"what if his great fathercame from the unknown world and rove these menlike dead leaves through the place?"
"Friend, let me put it in the plainest way. My mother says I am his son; I know notsurely. Who has known his own engendering? I wish at least I had some happy manas father, going old in his house, but unknown death and silence are the fate of him that, since you ask, they call my father."
