Χορός ανδρων Αργειων

590ἰὼ ἰώ: μεγάλαι μεγάλων
εὐδαιμονίαι: τὴν τοῦ βασιλέως
ἴδετ᾽ Ἰφιγένειαν, ἄνασσαν ἐμήν,
τὴν Τυνδάρεω τε Κλυταιμήστραν:
ὡς ἐκ μεγάλων ἐβλαστήκασ᾽
595ἐπί τ᾽ εὐμήκεις ἥκουσι τύχας.
θεοί γ᾽ οἱ κρείσσους οἵ τ᾽ ὀλβοφόροι
τοῖς οὐκ εὐδαίμοσι θνητῶν.

Χορός

στῶμεν, Χαλκίδος ἔκγονα θρέμματα,
τὴν βασίλειαν δεξώμεθ᾽ ὄχων
600ἄπο μὴ σφαλερῶς ἐπὶ γαῖαν,
ἀγανῶς δὲ χεροῖν μαλακῇ ῥώμῃ,
μὴ ταρβήσῃ † νεωστί μοι μολὸν
κλεινὸν τέκνον Ἀγαμέμνονος,
μηδὲ θόρυβον † μηδ᾽ ἔκπληξιν
605ταῖς Ἀργείαις
ξεῖναι ξείναις παρέχωμεν.
