μόνος δ’ Ὀρέστην τόνδ’ ἐθαύμαζες φίλων,
πράσσονθ’ ἃ πράσσω δείν’ ὑπ’ Αἰγίσθου παθών,
ὅς μου κατέκτα πατέρα — χἡ πανώλεθρος
μήτηρ.

You alone of my friends respected me, Orestes, doing what I'm doing after suffering terrible things at the hand of Aegisthus. He killed my father - him and my destructive mother.
