So, in matters less related to clothing, let's get back to Euripides! This is still Electra's introduction. In good Greek tragedy style, she's moving on from a general statement about the themes of the play to introducing all the characters and her location, so that the audience knows who the heck is hanging out on stage--and thus, what story is going to be told--before the chorus gets their all-important singing and dancing entrance from offstage.

( Also, this play claims to be about Orestes, so I guess we gotta introduce him soon. )
