Helen: Thou hast told the truth, but thy telling is not kind to me.

Electra: What is this supposed modesty before the eyes of Mycenae
that possesses thee?

Helen: I am afraid of the fathers of those who lie dead beneath the
walls of Ilium.

Electra: Good cause for fear; thy name is on every tongue in Argos.

Helen: Then free me of my fear and grant me this boon.

Electra: I could not bear to face my mother's grave.

Helen: And yet 'twere shame indeed to send these offerings by a servant's
hand.

Electra: Then why not send thy daughter Hermione?
