Electra says: "But most of my hopeless life has already left me, and I have no more strength; indeed, I am wasting away without parents, whom no dear husband protects; but as a despised foreigner, I manage the house of my father." Electra is saying: I lived most of my life in misfortunes; and the greater part of my life, she is saying, has left me, who was never in good hope, since up to this point now no part of vengeance for Agamemnon has been accomplished; me whom no dear husband protects, but everyone is being standoffish [around me in my] misfortunes -- or this: "friends get out of the way of a man who is suffering evil."[2]
