Thoas: With what intent? or what advantage sought?

Messenger: Of these hereafter; what more urgent now
Imports thee, hear: the virgin, in this place
Presiding at the altars, from this land
Is with the strangers fled, and bears with her
The sacred image of the goddess; all
Of her ablutions but a false pretence.

Thoas: How say'st thou? What is her accursed design?

Messenger: To save Orestes: this too will amaze thee.

Thoas: Whom? What Orestes? Clytemnestra's son?

Messenger: Him at the altar hallow'd now to bleed.

Thoas: Portentous! for what less can it be call'd?
