Argive (Greece) (search for this): card 531
Chorus Then hastened all the race of Phrygia to the gates, to make the goddess a present of an Argive band ambushed in the polished mountain-pine, Dardania's ruin, a welcome gift to be to her, the virgin queen of deathless steeds; and with nooses of cord they dragged it, as it had been a ship's dark hull, to the stone-built temple of the goddess Pallas, and set it on that floor so soon to drink our country's blood. But, as they labored and made merry, came on the pitchy night; loud the Libyan flute was sounding, and Phrygian songs awoke, while maidens beat the ground with airy foot, uplifting their glad song; and in the halls a blaze of torchlight shed its flickering shadows on sleeping eyes.

Troy (Turkey) (search for this): card 551
Chorus In that hour around the house I was singing as I danced to that maiden of the hills, the child of Zeus; when there rang along the town a cry of death which filled the homes of Troy, and babies in terror clung about their mothers' skirts, as forth from their ambush came the warrior-band, the handiwork of maiden Pallas. Soon the altars ran with Phrygian blood, and desolation reigned over every bed where young men lay beheaded, a glorious crown for Hellas won, for her, the nurse of youth, but for our Phrygian fatherland a bitter grief.

Chorus Leader Hecuba, do you see Andromache advancing here on a foreign chariot? and with her, clasped to her throbbing breast, is her dear Astyanax, Hector's child. Where are you being carried, unhappy wife, mounted on that chariot, side by side with Hector's brazen arms and Phrygian spoils of war, with which Achilles' son will deck the shrines of Phthia on his return from Troy?
Troy (Massachusetts, United States) (search for this): card 582
Hecuba Joy is gone, Troy is gone. Andromache Unhappy! Hecuba For my gallant sons Andromache Alas! Hecuba Alas indeed, for my Andromache Misery! Hecuba Piteous the fate Andromache Of our city, Hecuba Smouldering in the smoke.

Chorus Leader What sweet relief to sufferers it is to weep, to mourn, lament, and chant the dirge that tells of grief! Andromache Do you see this, mother of that man, Hector, who once laid low in battle many a son of Argos? Hecuba I see that it is heaven's way to exalt what men accounted nothing, and ruin what they most esteemed. Andromache Hence with my child as booty am I borne; the noble are brought to slavery—a bitter change. Hecuba This is necessity's grim law; it was just now that Cassandra was torn with brutal violence from my arms. Andromache Alas, alas! it seems a second Aias has appeared to wrong your daughter; but there are other ills for you. Hecuba Yes, beyond all count or measure are my sorrows; evil vies with evil in the struggle to be first. Andromache Your daughter Polyxena is dead, slain at Achilles' tomb, an offering to his lifeless corpse. Hecuba O woe is me! This is that riddle Talthybius long ago told me, a truth obscurely uttered.

Andromache I saw her myself; so I alighted from the chariot, and covered her corpse with a mantle, and struck upon my breast. Hecuba Alas! my child, for your unhallowed sacrifice! and yet again, alas! for your shameful death! Andromache Her death was even as it was, and yet that death of hers was after all a happier fate than my life. Hecuba Death
