Menelaus: Next an empty bier is decked and carried in procession.

Theoclymenus: It shall be so; what else is it customary to add?

Menelaus: Bronze arms; for war was his delight.

Theoclymenus: These will be worthy of the race of Pelops, and these
will we give.

Menelaus: And with them all the fair increase of productive earth.

Theoclymenus: And next, how do ye pour these offerings into the billows?

Menelaus: There must be a ship ready and rowers.

Theoclymenus: How far from the shore does the ship put out?

Menelaus: So far that the foam in her wake can scarce be seen from
the strand.
