Electra
This time, at least, you cannot say that I first gave you cause for upset and thereby provoked such words from you. But, if you will permit me, [555] I would gladly declare the truth, on behalf of my dead father and my sister alike.

Clytaemnestra
Certainly I permit you; and if you always addressed me in such a tone, you would not be difficult to listen to.
