Abstract
The father prayed, called to his men to lift her with strength of hand swept in her robes aloft and prone above the altar, as you might lift a goat for sacrifice, with guards against the lips’ sweet edge, to check the curse cried on the house of Atreus by force of bit and speech drowned in strength. Pouring then to the ground her saffron mantle she struck the sacrificers with the eyes’ arrows of pity, lovely as in a painted scene, and striving to speak.
