Do not grieve for us; for we are acquainted with the sacrifices here and we know them.

Iphigenia
Which of you is called by the name of Pylades? I want to know this first.
Orestes
That one, if you have any pleasure in the knowledge.
Iphigenia
Of what city of Hellas were you born a citizen?
Orestes
What would you gain by learning this, lady?
Iphigenia
Are you brothers, from one mother?
Orestes
By friendship, yes; we are not brothers by birth, lady.
Iphigenia
What name did your father give you?
Orestes
I might rightly be called Unfortunate.
Iphigenia
I do not ask that; ascribe that to fortune.
Orestes
If I die unnamed, I would not be mocked at.
Iphigenia
Why do you begrudge this? Are you so proud?
Orestes
You will sacrifice my body, not my name.
Iphigenia
Can you not say what city you are from?
Orestes
You are seeking nothing profitable, since I am going to die.
Iphigenia
What hinders you from doing me this favor?
Orestes
The famous Argos I claim as my native land.
Iphigenia
By the gods, truly, stranger, were you born there?
Orestes
Yes, from Mycenae, which was once prosperous.
Iphigenia
Have you left your country as an exile, or by what fate?
Orestes
My flight is in some manner willed and unwilled.
Iphigenia
Could you then tell me something that I wish to know?
Orestes
It will be no great addition to my own misfortune.
Iphigenia
Indeed, I am so glad that you have come from Argos!
Orestes
I am not; but if you are, take pleasure in it.
Iphigenia
Perhaps you know Troy, whose fame is everywhere.
Orestes
Would that I did not, even seen in a dream!
Iphigenia
They say it is no more, lost to the spear.
Orestes
It is so; you have heard nothing that has not happened.
Iphigenia
Has Helen come back to Menelaus’ home?
