πρὸς οὖν ταῦτα ὁ Τυνδάρεως ἐβουλεύετο μετὰ τῶν παίδων. καὶ ἐδόκει αὐτοῖς σκοποῦσιν οὐ χεῖρον εἶναι προσλαβεῖν τοὺς ἐκ τῆς Ἀσίας βασιλέας. τὴν μὲν γὰρ Πελοπιδῶν οἰκίαν ἔχειν Κλυταιμνήστραν συνοικοῦσαν Ἀγαμέμνονι· λοιπὸν δέ, εἰ Πριάμῳ κηδεύσειαν, καὶ τῶν ἐκεῖ πραγμάτων κρατεῖν καὶ μηδένα αὐτοὺς κωλύειν τῆς Ἀσίας καὶ τῆς Εὐρώπης ἄρχειν ἁπάσης. πρὸς δὲ ταῦτα ἠγωνίζετο μὲν ὁ Ἀγαμέμνων, ἡττᾶτο δὲ τοῖς δικαίοις.
