She has; it was an unfortunate arrival for one dear to me.
Iphigenia
And where is she? She deserves an ill turn from me also.
Orestes
She lives at Sparta with her former bedfellow.
Iphigenia
Creature hated by Hellas, not by me alone!
Orestes
I have also had some benefit from the marriage of that woman!
Iphigenia
Have the Achaeans returned, as reported?
Orestes
How you put everything together and ask me all at once!
Iphigenia
Before you die, I want to profit by your answers.
Orestes
Question me, since you desire this; I will tell you.
Iphigenia
Has a certain Calchas, a prophet, come back from Troy?
Orestes
He is dead, as the story goes in Mycenae.
Iphigenia
O goddess, how good that is! What about Odysseus?
Orestes
He has not yet returned, but is alive, they say.
Iphigenia
May he die and never achieve a return to his country!
Orestes
Do not pray against that man; all is misery for him.
Iphigenia
But is the son of Thetis the Nereid still alive?
Orestes
He is not; his marriage at Aulis was in vain.
Iphigenia
Yes, for it was a cheat, as those who experienced it know.

Orestes
Who are you? How well you ask about Hellas!
Iphigenia
I am from there; while still a child I was lost.
Orestes
Then rightly you desire to know what has happened there, lady.
Iphigenia
What about the general, who is said to be happy?
Orestes
Who? The one I knew was not happy.
Iphigenia
There was said to be a certain lord, Agamemnon, son of Atreus.
Orestes
I do not know; leave this subject, lady.
Iphigenia
No, by the gods, but tell me, stranger, to delight me.
Orestes
The wretched man is dead, and in addition he destroyed another.
Iphigenia
Dead? By what fate? I am unhappy!
Orestes
Why do you mourn for this? It doesn’t concern you, does it?
Iphigenia
I grieve for his former prosperity.
