Troubling my lord; else shalt thou die, who art
A Greek: we have no dealings with the Greeks. 440

Grey mother, all these words thou sayest well:—
Even so—I will obey—refrain thy wrath—

Begone!—this charge is laid upon me, stranger,
That none of Hellenes to these halls draw nigh.

Ah, thrust not forth, nor drive me hence by force! 445

Thou wilt not heed my words?—on thine head be it.

Bear mine appeal unto thy lords within.

Thine!—bitter should my bearing be, I wot!

A shipwrecked stranger I: none violate such.

To another house pass on instead of this. 450

Nay, but I will within!—yield thou to me!
