Chorus: A generous speech, worthy of Tantalus, the son of Zeus! Thou
dost not shame thy ancestry.

Agamemnon: I thank thee, Menelaus, for this unexpected suggestion;
'tis an honourable proposal, worthy of thee.

Menelaus: Sometimes love, sometimes the selfishness of their families
causes a quarrel between brothers; I loathe a relationship of this
kind which is bitterness to both.

Agamemnon: 'Tis useless, for circumstances compel me to carry out
the murderous sacrifice of my daughter.

Menelaus: How so? who will compel thee to slay thine own child?

Agamemnon: The whole Achaean army here assembled.

Menelaus: Not if thou send her back to Argos.
