House of Atreus
Orestes, by Erinyes hounded
For the hubris that amounted
To child morphing into murderer,
Acting on Apollonian advice;
And what could go wrong
With a god on your side?
Now the Furies won't forget
To exact their pound of flesh.
So what if it's sins of the father
That spark the spiral of doom?
It's Iphigenia, Electra and Orestes
Always draped in funeral festoons.
