Polymestor: Is there aught else thou wouldst tell me about the place?
Hecuba: I wish to keep safe the treasure I brought from Troy.
Polymestor: Where can it be? inside thy dress, or hast thou it hidden?
Hecuba: 'Tis safe amid a heap of spoils within these tents.
Polymestor: Where? This is the station built by the Achaeans to surround
their fleet.
Hecuba: The captive women have huts of their own.
Polymestor: It is safe to enter? are there no men about?
Hecuba: There are no Achaeans within; we are alone. Enter then the
tent, for the Argives are eager to set sail from Troy for home; and,
when thou hast accomplished all that is appointed thee, thou shalt
return with thy children to that bourn where thou hast lodged my son.
(Hecuba leads Polymestor and his children into the tent.)
