And do you then have tears streaming from your eyes?
Agamemnon
Yes, for long is the absence from each other, that awaits us.
Iphigenia
I do not know, dear father, I do not know of what you are speaking.[*]
Agamemnon
You are moving my pity all the more by speaking so sensibly.
Iphigenia
My words shall turn to senselessness if that will cheer you more.
Agamemnon
Alas! this silence is too much. You have my thanks.
Iphigenia
Stay with your children at home, father.
Agamemnon
My own wish![*] But to my sorrow I may not
Iphigenia
Ruin seize their wars and the woes of Menelaus!
Agamemnon
First will that, which has been my life-long ruin, bring ruin to others.[*]
Iphigenia
How long you were absent in the bays of Aulis!
Agamemnon
Yes, and there is still a hindrance to my sending the army forward.
Iphigenia
Where do men say the Phrygians live, father?
Agamemnon
In a land where I wish Paris, the son of Priam, never had dwelt.
Iphigenia
It is a long voyage you are bound on, father, after you leave me.
Agamemnon
You will meet your father again, my daughter.
Iphigenia
Ah! would it were seemly for you to take me as a fellow voyager![*]
Agamemnon
You too have[*] a voyage to make to a haven where you will remember your father.
Iphigenia
Shall I sail there with my mother or alone?
Agamemnon
All alone, without father or mother.
Iphigenia
What! have you found me a new home, father?
Agamemnon
Enough of this! it is not for girls to know such things.
Iphigenia
Please hurry home from Troy, father, as soon as you have triumphed there.
Agamemnon
There is a sacrifice I have first to offer here.
Iphigenia
Yes, it is your duty to heed religion with aid of holy rites.[*]
Agamemnon
You will witness it, for you will be standing near the libations.
Iphigenia
Am I to lead the dance then round the altar, father?
677
Agamemnon
I count you happier than myself because you know nothing. Go withinit is wrong for maidens to be seenafter you have given me your hand and a kiss,
on the eve of your lengthy sojourn far from your fathers side.
Breast, cheek, and golden hair! ah, how grievous you have found Helen and the Phrygians city! I can speak no more; the tears come welling to my eyes, the moment I touch you.
