Peleus: Ye dames of Phthia, answer my questions. I heard a vague rumour
that the daughter of Menelaus had left these halls and fled; so now
I am come in hot haste to learn if this be true; for it is the duty
of those who are at home to labour in the interests of their absent
friends.

Leader of the Chorus: Thou hast heard aright, O Peleus; ill would
it become me to hide the evil case in which I now find myself; our
queen has fled and left these halls.

Peleus: What did she fear? explain that to me.



Leader: She was afraid her lord would cast her out.

Peleus: In return for plotting his child's death? surely not?



Leader: Yea, and she was afraid of yon captive.
