words of this man. For you have long been in anguish whether the men who have now arrived would ever return. Enter Alcmene from the temple. Alcmene Why, Iolaus, has this whole temple been filled with shouts? Has a herald come a second time from Argos to do you violence? My strength may be weak, stranger, but you must realize this: you cannot remove these children while I still live. May I no longer be regarded as Heracles' mother! If you lay a hand on them, you will struggle ignominiously wihildren while I still live. May I no longer be regarded as Heracles' mother! If you lay a hand on them, you will struggle ignominiously with a pair of grey-heads. Iolaus Courage, old woman, do not be afraid. No herald has come from Argos with hostile message. Alcmene Then why did you raise the shout that is the herald of fear? Iolaus So that you would come out of the temple and approach him. Alcmene I don't understand this. Who is he? Iolaus He brings word that your grandson has returned.

ge to Demeter's daughter if we are to survive and this city likewise. This is our perplexity: the king says that he will not sacrifice either his own children or those of anyone else. And he tells me by hint and indirection that, unless we find a way out of our difficulties, we must find some other land, since he desires to save this country. Maiden Is it this prophecy that keeps us from being safe? Iolaus Yes, this prophecy. In all else our fortune is good. Maiden Then fear no more the Argive enemy's spear. For I am ready, old man, of my own accord and unbidden, to appear for sacrifice and be killed. For what shall we say if this city is willing to run great risks on our behalf, and yet we, who lay toil and struggle on others, run away from death when it lies in our power to save them? It must not be so, for it deserves nothing but mockery if we sit and groan as suppliants of the gods and yet, though we are descended from that great man who is our father, show ourselves to be c

Enter by Eisodos B Demophon. Iolaus My son, why have you come with worry in your glance? Are you going to tell me something new about the enemy? Are they tarrying, or have they arrived, or what news have you heard? For you will assuredly not prove false what the herald said. The general, who has been fortunate before now, will come to Athens, I am sure, and in no humble mood. But of course Zeus is the punisher of thoughts that are too high and mighty. Demophon The Argive army has arrived and Eurystheus its leader. I have seen him myself: a man who claims to be well versed in the art of generalship must not observe the enemy by means of messengers. But he has not yet sent his army into the plain of Attica. Rather, sitting upon a rocky brow, he is deliberating （I will tell you my impressions） by what route he should bring so great an army within the borders of our land and safely encamp it. Where my own part is concerned, all is well prepared: the city is in arms, the sacrificial

Chorus You came to another city, full equal of Argos, and foreigner that you were you tried to drag off by force wanderers, the god's suppliants and my country's petitioners, not yielding to the king or urging any plea of justice. How can such things be accounted fair in the court of men of sense?

Chorus Though you utter a great boast, o stranger from Argos, others do not on that account care the more for you, and by your proud words you shall not daunt our hearts. Long may it be before this happens to great Athens of the fair dancing-grounds! But you are senseless, and so is the son of Sthenelus,Eurystheus. tyrant at Argos.

Demophon Your words are well spoken, old sir, and I am confident that the deeds of these children will match them: our favor to you will be remembered. I shall muster the citizens and marshall them so that we may meet the army of Mycenae with a large force: first I shall send scouts to spy on it so that it may not approach without my being aware （for at Argos every man is a swift-footed warrior）, and then I shall gather the prophets and make sacrifice. But leave Zeus's altar and go with the children to the palace. There are men there who will take care of you, even if I am away. Go to the palace, old sir. Iolaus I will not leave the altar. We will stay here as suppliants and pray for the city's good fortune. But when she has escaped with honor from this struggle, then we will go to the palace. The gods we have as allies are not worse than those of the Argives, my lord. For Hera is their champion, Zeus's wife, but Athena is ours. This too is a source of good fortune for us, that
