According to you, the work of burying her husband belongs to her.
Menelaos
Yes indeed; piety demands that the dead be not robbed of their due.
Theoklymenos
Let her go; it is in my interest to foster piety in a wife. Go inside and choose adornment for the dead;
I will not send you away from the land empty-handed either, since you have done her a favor. As you have brought me good news, you will receive clothing instead of going in rags, and food, so that you may reach your country, since now I see you doing very badly indeed.
As for you, poor lady, do not wear yourself out in a hopeless case; Menelaos has met his doom, and your dead husband could not return to life.
