Iphigenia: Wrong and injury
Our country suffers, and so thousands
Of men arm themselves, thousands more in these ships
Pick up their oars. They will dare very greatly
Against the enemy and die for Greece.
These are thousands, but I with my one life
To save, am I to prevent all? Where is
The judgment of justice here? To the soldiers
Who die is there a word we can answer?
None.
