But see! a herald from the army of Danaids, with a store of fresh proclamations, comes hastening here. What is his errand? What does he say? For we are indeed slaves now to Dorian lords.

Talthybius

Hecuba, you know me from my many journeys to and fro as herald between the Achaean army and Troy ; I was no stranger to you, lady, even before: I, Talthybius, now sent with a fresh message.

Χορός

καὶ μὴν Δαναῶν ὅδʼ ἀπὸ στρατιᾶς
230

κῆρυξ, νεοχμῶν μύθων ταμίας,

στείχει ταχύπουν ἴχνος ἐξανύων.

τί φέρει; τί λέγει; δοῦλαι γὰρ δὴ

Δωρίδος ἐσμὲν χθονὸς ἤδη.

Ταλθύβιος

Ἑκάβη, πυκνὰς γὰρ οἶσθά μʼ ἐς Τροίαν ὁδοὺς
235

ἐλθόντα κήρυκʼ ἐξ Ἀχαιικοῦ στρατοῦ,

ἐγνωσμένος δὲ καὶ πάροιθέ σοι, γύναι,

Ταλθύβιος ἥκω καινὸν ἀγγελῶν λόγον.

Doch sieh, dort naht von der Danaer Heer,

Wohl Neues zu melden, ein Herold uns,

Der mit eilendem Schritt vollendet den Pfad.

Was bringt, was sagt er? Sclavinnen sind

Wir schon in dem dorischen Lande.¹
