Her face tells me that she is modest, pure, amiable, and refined. Her manners must be charming, her conversation fresh, sparkling, and elevating." "The deuce!" exclaimed Pylades, laughingly, "what good eyes you must have to make out all that at such a distance!
She must be of Argos." And Pylades answered, "This I cannot say; all men have knowledge of what befell the king. But hearken to this. It were shame to me to live if thou diest. I sailed with thee and will die with thee.
She will be bereaved of noble brothers this day. And whence come ye?" To her Orestes answered, "What meanest thou, lady, by lamenting in this fashion over us? I hold it folly in him who must die that he should bemoan himself. Pity us not; we know what manner of sacrifices ye have in this land." "Tell me now, which of ye two is called Pylades?"

I have, however, prepared a complete catalogue of his designs, with such remarks concerning them as must satisfy any want that may be felt by this systematic omission in the narrative.

Your ancestors did their best to offer them up to Artemis: you offer up victims to them. It seems an absurd inconsistency. Tox.
