Veined mesh of Agamemnon

Veined mesh of Agamemnon (3.XXIX.i).

Contrast here to how Klytaimestra and her lover Aigosthos felt after murdering Agamemnon her husband. The words 'song' and 'twitter' infer joy on Klytaimestra's part, while Helen is mourning with a 'moan' coming from the 'hole in her heart'. Both women are responsible for the deaths of their men (Helen believes Achille has drowned), but display two different reactions.
