  1. But why?
Iphigenia
  1. The luckless ending to our marriage causes me to feel abashed.
Clytemnestra
  1. No time for affectation now in face of what has happened. Stay then; reserve will do no good, if we may profit.[*](The sentence is left unfinished, owing to the sudden address of Achilles; possibly it would have run if only we can enlist his aid.)
Achilles
  1. Daughter of Leda, lady of sorrows!
Clytemnestra
  1. No misnomer that.
