chrous song 1

Electra, daughter of Agamon, receives a message from a messenger from Megana. The Agrives are planning a sacrifice in three days, and all the maidens must go to Hera's temple. O Electra, daughter of Agamon, to thy rustic cot I come. For a messenger hath arrived, a highlander from Megana, one who lives on milk, announcing that the Agrives are proclaiming a sacrifice for the third day from now, and all our maidens are to go to Hera's temple.
