“This is the expiation…for the sin of my [your] father.” She is abiding in the wills of the gods and respects all their laws. “All must go the way that lies before me.” The chorus honour her before her death; they say that she is “unmarred by the hand of consuming sickness.” They are highly respectful of her beauty and pride, and are speaking with admiration and awe.
