The Curse of Atreus

Atreus and Thyeste are the sons of Pelopis. Thyestes seduces Atreus's wife; at the time, he was not able to truly tolerate the discovery. Plot, therefore, against a brother, he thought; "You are abundantly angry. Becuase of you my few sons cut up and killed their brother. Then I ought to cook he and Thyestes for dinner. He killed the boys; Thyestes saw his own dead boys on the table. Oh, unfortunate Thyestes! He did not have anything. But, Oh Atreus, becuase of your great and true sons you ought to have great penalty. In our evil sons remains your ancient blame; it was perpetual. You ought to think of an ambush, oh Atreus? Your anger is not able to overcome; evil, therefore, is always your reputation. You are turly praised, but have many faults.
