"Screaming in Translation: The Elektra of Sophokles" by Anne Carson

"Now what was left of the ships of the retreating army would be disappearing over the thin line where the sea met the sky; now the smoke of last night's fires was clearing where the still-alive humans below had buried and burnt their dead. They were mostly the female kind. The female kind did the sorting-out afterwards. They worked their way through the rubble and the debris. Hunched and wingless, they wheeled their broken-yoked handcarts along what was left of the roads. It was nothing new. The crow had seen it all before." - Ali Smith, The Story of Antigone
