Iphigenia: Didst thou not hear what names the strangers bear?

Herdsman: One by the other was call'd Pylades.

Iphigenia: How is the stranger, his companion, named?

Herdsman: This none of us can tell: we heard it not.

Iphigenia: How saw you them? how seized them? by what chance?

Herdsman: Mid the rude cliffs that o'er the Euxine hang-

Iphigenia: And what concern have herdsmen with the sea?

Herdsman: To wash our herds in the salt wave we came.

Iphigenia: To what I ask'd return: how seized you them?
Tell me the manner; this I wish to know:
For slow the victims come, nor hath some while
The altar of the goddess, as was wont,
Been crimson'd with the streams of Grecian blood.
