The Agamemnon of Aeschylus

Note The women’s “Ololûgê” or triumph-cry — THE AGAMEMNON

Gilbert Murray translation

[P. 2, l. 28, Women’s triumph cry.]—This cry of the women recurs several times in the play: cf. p. 26, ll. 587 ff., p. 55, l. 1234. It is conventionally represented by “ololû”; as the cry to Apollo, Paian is “I-ê,” l. 146, and Cassandra’s sob is “ototoi” or “otototoi,” p. 47.
