Leader of the Chorus: O child of Zeus, one word shall tell thee all.
We are the children of eternal Night,
And Furies in the underworld are called.

Athena: I know your lineage now and eke your name.

Leader: Yea, and eftsoons indeed my rights shalt know.

Athena: Fain would I learn them; speak them clearly forth,

Leader: We chase from home the murderers of men.

Athena: And where at last can he that slew make pause?

Leader: Where this is law-All joy abandon here.
