Euripides

Euripides. The Plays of Euripides, Translated into English Prose from the Text of Paley. Vol. II. Coleridge, Edward P., translator. London: George Bell and Sons, 1891.

  1. You will meet your father again, my daughter.
Iphigenia
  1. Ah! would it were seemly for you to take me as a fellow voyager![*](These two lines, 665-6 are corrupt, probably interpolated, in Paley’s opinion. Omitting them, 1. 667 comes in very properly. To obtain any sense in the first of them, Weil’s correction, ἐς ταὐτὸν αὗθις, ὦ θύγατερ ἥξεις πατρί has been adopted; the meaning being, we shall meet after death. )
Agamemnon
  1. You too have[*](Reading ἀλλ᾽ ἔστι, Hermann’s correction for MSS. αἰτεῖς τι.) a voyage to make to a haven where you will remember your father.
Iphigenia
  1. Shall I sail there with my mother or alone?
Agamemnon
  1. All alone, without father or mother.
