Quote | “Says Machabeli – Agamemnon: Atrides – let me be brief – what else do I have to wish in this world […] Here Machabeli-Agamemnon groaned […] it was Agamemnon himself, who stood there spiritually tired […] Agamemnon was carried away by a dream […] The ray of happiness covered Machabeli-Agamemnon’s face […] Calchas and Ulysses came […] How worried Machabeli-Agamemnon became! Calchas preaches: “They want blood from Helen’s house to be shed”, Ulysses advises me: “Obey the order of Gods” […] and Machabeli-Agamemnon shouted out in thunder: - these Gods… These Gods! Shall I obey these Gods? Guri stopped Agamemnon’s monologue for a while […] Agamemnon continued in thunderous voice: Shall I obey these Gods?” (pg. 427) |
