my first marriage-bed and the one whose company I shared as a bride; for I could even die with my husband, I loved him so much. But how could he thank me, if I were to share death with him? Let me go and pay funeral rites to the dead in person.
May the gods give to you the things I wish and also to this stranger here, for his assistance! And you will have in me such a wife at home as you ought to have, since you are doing a good service to Menelaos and to me; for surely these events are leading to some good fortune.
But now appoint someone to give us a ship in which to carry these gifts, so that I may have your kindness in full.
1412
Theoklymenos
(to an attendant.)You, go and give them a Sidonian ship of fifty oars, and rowers also.
Helen
This man who is ordering the funeral will be in command of the ship, won’t he?
