Agamemnon: By whom was he slain? what death o'ertook him?

Hecuba: By whom but by this man? His Thracian host slew him.

Agamemnon: The wretch! could he have been so eager for the treasure?

Hecuba: Even so; soon as ever he heard of the Phrygians' disaster.

Agamemnon: Where didst find him? or did some one bring his corpse?

Hecuba: This maid, who chanced upon it on the sea-shore.

Agamemnon: Was she seeking it, or bent on other tasks?

Hecuba: She had gone to fetch water from the sea to wash Polyxena.

Agamemnon: It seems then his host slew him and cast his body out to
sea.
