Excerpt from The Electra of Sophocles: With Notes

Paed. O child of Agamemnon who erst was leader of our host at Troy, now is it granted thee to see before thy face all the scene whereof thou wert ever fain. Yonder lies the ancestral Argos to which thy heart went out, the sacred region of Inachus' daughter whom the gadfly drave; and this, Orestes, is the gathering-place by the Wolf-shrine, holy to the god that slays the wolf; and the fane yonder on our left is Hera's renowned temple; and here before us, as we pause, assure thyself that thou seest Mycenae of golden store; and younder is the palace of Pelops' race, the house of murders manifold. Thence I bore thee once from thy father's bloody doom, receiving thee from a kindred hand, even thy sister's, and saved thee and fostered thee to the age that now is thine, to requite the murder of they father.
