Leader of the Chorus: Leaving the sea-wash'd shore a herdsman comes

Speeding, with some fresh tidings to thee fraught. (A Herdsman enters.)

Herdsman: Daughter of Agamemnon, and bright gem
Of Clytemnestra, hear strange things from me.

Iphigenia: And what of terror doth thy tale import?

Herdsman: Two youths, swift-rowing 'twixt the clashing rocks
Of our wild sea, are landed on the beach,
A grateful offering at Diana's shrine,
And victims to the goddess. Haste, prepare
The sacred lavers, and the previous rites.

Iphigenia: Whence are the strangers? from what country named?

Herdsman: From Greece: this only, nothing more, I know.
