Note 371 — AGAMEMNON

E. H. (Edward Hayes) Plumptre translation

If we adopt this reading, we must think of Cassandra as identifying herself with the woe (Atè) which makes up her life, just as afterwards Clytæmnestra speaks of herself as one with the avenging Demon (Alastor) of the house of Atreus (1473). The alternative reading gives—

“Make rich in woe another in my place.”
