And when they got home they talked, one of 1 Cyrus’s wisdom, another of his strength, another of his gentleness, and still another of his beauty and his commanding presence.
Then Tigranes asked his wife: Tell me, my Armenian princess, said he, did you, too, think Cyrus handsome?
Why, by Zeus, said she, I did not look at him.
At whom, then? asked Tigranes.
At him, by Zeus, who said that he would give his life to keep me from servitude.
Then as might be expected after such experiences, they went to rest together.
