But how? She has her barbarian attendants.
Pylades
Barbarians indeed! I am not the man to fear any Phrygian.
Orestes
They are only fit to look after mirrors and perfumes!
Pylades
Has she brought Trojan luxury with her here?
Orestes
So much so, that Hellas is too small for her to live in.
Pylades
The race of slaves is nothing to those who are free.
Orestes
Well, if I can do this deed, I do not shrink from dying twice over.
Pylades
No, nor I either, if it is you I am avenging.
Orestes
Explain the matter, and continue describing your plan.
Pylades
We will enter the house on the pretence of going to our death.
Orestes
So far I follow you, but not beyond.
Pylades
We will lament our sufferings to her.
Orestes
So that she will shed tears, although her heart is glad.
Pylades
And our condition will be like hers.
Orestes
How shall we proceed next in our contest?
Pylades
We shall have swords concealed in our cloaks.
Orestes
Will we dispose of her attendants first?
Pylades
We will shut them up in different parts of the house.
