    Nay�察�by the goddess´queen of Argos� �go�察�manage matters out of

doors�察�but in the house it is my place to decide what is proper for

maidens at their wedding。 Exit。

  AGAMEMNON

    Woe is me� �my efforts are baffled�察�I am disappointed in my hope��

anxious as I was to get my wife out of sight�察�foiled at every point�察�I

form my plots and subtle schemes against my best´beloved。 But I will

go�察�in spite of all�察�with Calchas the priest�察�to inquire the goddess's

good pleasure�察�fraught with ill´luck as it is to me�察�and with

trouble to Hellas。 He who is wise should keep in his house a good

and useful wife or none at all。

                                                                Exit。



  CHORUS

    They say the Hellenes' gathered host will come in arms aboard

their ships to Simois with its silver eddies�察�even to Ilium�察�the plain

of Troy beloved by Phoebus�察�where famed Cassandra�察�I am told�察�whene'er

the god's resistless prophecies inspire her�察�wildly tosses her

golden tresses�察�wreathed with crown of verdant bay。 And on the

towers of Troy and round her walls shall Trojans stand�察�when sea´borne

troops with brazen shields row in on shapely ships to the channels

of the Simois�察�eager to take Helen�察�the sister of that heavenly pair

whom Zeus begat�察�from Priam�察�and bear her back to Hellas by toil of

Achaea's shields and spears�察�encircling Pergamus�察�the Phrygians' town��

with murderous war around her stone´built towers�察�dragging men's heads

backward to cut their throats�察�and sacking the citadel of Troy from

roof to base�察�a cause of many tears to maids and Priam's wife�察�and

Helen�察�the daughter of Zeus�察�shall weep in bitter grief�察�because she

left her lord。

    Oh� �ne'er may there appear to me or to my children's children

the prospect which the wealthy Lydian dames and Phrygia's brides

will have�察�as at their looms they hold converse�此 �Say who will pluck

this fair blossom from her ruined country�察�tightening his grasp on

lovely tresses till the tears flow�拭�'Tis all through thee�察�the

offspring of the long´necked swan�察�if indeed it be a true report

that Leda bare thee to a winged bird�察�when Zeus transformed himself

thereto�察�or whether�察�in the pages of the poets�察�fables have carried

these tales to men's ears idly�察�out of season。;



                           Enter ACHILLES。



  ACHILLES

    Where in these tents is Achaea's general�拭�Which of his servants

will announce to him that Achilles�察�the son of Peleus�察�is at his gates

seeking him�拭�For this delay at the Euripus is not the same for all

of us�察�there be some�察�for instance�察�who�察�though still unwed�察�have left

their houses desolate and are idling here upon the beach�察�while others

are married and have children�察�so strange the longing for this

expedition that has fallen on their hearts by Heaven's will。 My own

just plea must I declare�察�and whoso else hath any wish will speak

for himself。 Though I have left Pharsalia and Peleus�察�still I linger

here by reason of these light breezes at the Euripus�察�restraining my

Myrmidons�察�while they are ever instant with me saying�察 �Why do we

tarry�察�Achilles�拭�how much longer must we count the days to the start

for Ilium�拭�do something�察�if thou art so minded�察�else lead home thy

men�察�and wait not for the tardy action of these Atridae。;



                        Enter CLYTAEMNESTRA。



  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    Hail to thee�察�son of the Nereid goddess� �I heard thy voice from

within the tent and therefore came forth。

  ACHILLES

    O modesty revered� �who can this lady be whom I behold�察�so richly

dowered with beauty's gifts��

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    No wonder thou knowest me not�察�seeing I am one thou hast never

before set eyes on�察�I praise thy reverent address to modesty。

  ACHILLES

    Who art thou�察�and wherefore art thou come to the mustering of

the Danai´thou�察�a woman�察�to a fenced camp of men��

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    The daughter of Leda I�察�my name Clytaemnestra�察�and my husband king

Agamemnon。

  ACHILLES

    Well and shortly answered on all important points� �but it ill

befits that I should stand talking to women。

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    Stay�察�why seek to fly�拭�Give me thy hand�察�a prelude to a happy

marriage。

  ACHILLES

    What is it thou sayest�拭�I give thee my hand�拭�Were I to lay a

finger where I have no right�察�I could ne'er meet Agamemnon's eye。

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    The best of rights hast thou�察�seeing it is my child thou wilt wed��

O son of the sea´goddess�察�whom Nereus begat。

  ACHILLES

    What wedding dost thou speak of�拭�words fail me�察�lady�察�can thy wits

have gone astray and art thou inventing this��

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    All men are naturally shy in the presence of new relations�察�when

these remind them of their wedding。

  ACHILLES

    Lady�察�I have never wooed daughter of thine�察�nor have the sons of

Atreus ever mentioned marriage to me。

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    What can it mean�拭�thy turn now to marvel at my words�察�for thine

are passing strange to me。

  ACHILLES

    Hazard a guess�察�that we can both do in this matter�察�for it may

be we are both correct in our statements。

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    What� �have I suffered such indignity�拭�The marriage I am courting

has no reality�察�it seems�察�I am ashamed of it。

  ACHILLES

    Some one perhaps has made a mock of thee and me�察�pay no heed

thereto�察�make light of it。

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    Farewell�察�I can no longer face thee with unfaltering eyes�察�after

being made a liar and suffering this indignity。

  ACHILLES

    'Tis ;farewell; too I bid thee�察�lady�察�and now I go within the tent

to seek thy husband。

  ATTENDANT ��Calling through the tent´door��

    Stranger of the race of Aeacus�察�stay awhile� �Ho there� �thee I

mean�察�O goddess´born�察�and thee�察�daughter of Leda。

  ACHILLES

    Who is it calling through the half´opened door�拭�what fear his

voice betrays��

  ATTENDANT

    A slave am I�察�of that I am not proud�察�for fortune permits it not。

  ACHILLES

    Whose slave art thou�拭�not mine�察�for mine and Agamemnon's goods are

separate。

  ATTENDANT

    I belong to this lady who stands before the tent�察�a gift to her

from Tyndareus her father。

  ACHILLES

    I am waiting�察�tell me�察�if thou art desirous�察�why thou hast

stayed me。

  ATTENDANT

    Are ye really all alone here at the door��

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    To us alone wilt thou address thyself�察�come forth from the

king's tent。

  ATTENDANT ��Coming out��

    O Fortune and my own foresight�察�preserve whom I desire��

  ACHILLES

    That speech will save them´in the future�察�it has a certain pompous

air。

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    Delay not for the sake of touching my right hand�察�if there is

aught that thou wouldst say to me。

  ATTENDANT

    Well�察�thou knowest my character and my devotion to thee and thy

children。

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    I know thou hast grown old in the service of my house。

  ATTENDANT

    Likewise thou knowest it was in thy dowry king Agamemnon

received me。

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    Yes�察�thou camest to Argos with me�察�and hast been mine this long

time past。

  ATTENDANT

    True�察�and though I bear thee all goodwill�察�I like not thy lord

so well。

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    Come�察�come�察�unfold whate'er thou hast to say。

  ATTENDANT

    Her father�察�he that begat her�察�is on the point of slaying thy

daughter with his own hand。

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    How�拭�Out upon thy story�察�old dotard� �thou art mad。

  ATTENDANT

    Severing with a sword the hapless maid's white throat。

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    Ah�察�woe is me� �Is my husband haply mad��

  ATTENDANT

    Nay�察�sane�察�except where thou and thy daughter are concerned�察�there

he is mad。

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    What is his reason�拭�what vengeful fiend impels him��

  ATTENDANT

    Oracles´at least so Calchas says�察�in order that the host may start

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    Whither�拭�Woe is me�察�and woe is thee�察�thy father's destined victim��

  ATTENDANT

    To the halls of Dardanus�察�that Menelaus may recover Helen。

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    So Helen's return then was fated to affect Iphigenia��

  ATTENDANT

    Thou knowest all�察�her father is about to offer thy child to

Artemis。

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    But that marriage´what pretext had it for bringing me from home��

  ATTENDANT

    An inducement to thee to bring thy daughter cheerfully�察�to wed her

to Achilles。

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    On a deadly errand art thou come�察�my daughter�察�both thou�察�and I��

thy mother。

  ATTENDANT

    Piteous the lot of both of you´and fearful Agamemnon's venture。

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    Alas� �I am undone�察�my eyes can no longer stem their tears。

  ATTENDANT

    What more natural than to weep the loss of thy children��

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    Whence�察�old man�察�dost say thou hadst this news��

  ATTENDANT

    I had started to carry thee a letter referring to the former

writing。

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    Forbidding or combining to urge my bringing the child to her

death��

  ATTENDANT

    Nay�察�forbidding it�察�for thy lord was then in his sober senses。

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    How comes it then�察�if thou wert really bringing me a letter��

that thou dost not now deliver into my hands��

  ATTENDANT

    Menelaus snatched it from me´he who caused this trouble。

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    Dost thou hear that�察�son of Peleus�察�the Nereid's child��

  ACHILLES

    I have been listening to the tale of thy sufferings�察�and I am

indignant to think I was used as a tool。

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    They will slay my child�察�they have tricked her with thy marriage。

  ACHILLES

    Like thee I blame thy lord�察�nor do I view it with mere

indifference。

  CLYTAEMNESTRA

    No longer will I let shame prevent my kneeling to thee�察�a mortal

to one goddess´born�察�why do I affect reserve�拭�whose interests should I

consult before my child's�拭。�Throwing herself before ACHILLES��

  Oh� �help me�察�goddess´born�察�in my sore distress�察�and her that was

called thy bride´in vain�察�'tis true�察�yet called she was。 For thee it
