AndromacheClassical · Greek

The chorus of local Phthian women who observe and comment on the action, sympathizing with Andromache while fearing Hermione's power.

Lady, thus keeping thy weary station without pause upon the floor of Thetis’ shrine, Phthian though I am, to thee a daughter of Asia I come, to see if I can devise some remedy for these perplexing troubles, which have involved thee and Hermione in fell discord, because to thy sorrow thou sharest with her the love of Achilles’ son.
