Anne Carson Quote
CHORUS: Helen! wild mad Helenyou murdered so many beneath Troy.Now you’ve crowned yourself one final perfect time,a crown of blood that will not wash away.Strife walks with you everywhere you go.KLYTAIMESTRA: Oh, stop whining.And why get angry at Helen?As if she singlehandedly destroyed those multitudes of men.As if she all alone made this wound in us
