Chapter 539： select (1/2)
Agamemnon's face was cloudy and cloudy, and when he reached the stairs, he saw the dark clouds rising, the rain crackling down, and it covered the world with a gloomy gloom, but there was no wind at all!
How can the ship go to sea without wind?
Is it by hand to paddle to Troy?
I don't know how long it took, Agamemnon took a deep breath, stared at the sky, and finally said nothing, seemed determined to turn around.
This is a garden, surrounded by several small buildings. It is the residence of the queen Cluteniestra and her children. Agamemnon walked to the garden, identified her daughter Ifingenia's room, and walked quickly.
Pushing the door open for a moment, and seeing that the Queen Kryutnestella was also there, and now looking at herself with angry eyes, Agamemnon was surprised, but too late to think, and said to the queen, ”Take you Call your child. ”
”Huh!” Was reminded by a close servant, and the queen Klutenyestella, who knew the secret, was full of resentment, and her undisguised hatred flashed in her eyes. She said nothing to the children in the room: ”Come out, daughter, come out with your brother Orestes.”
Ifenegenia took her brother Orestes's hand out of the room, the young girl was slender, but her head was a little uneasy.
”Look, Iphigenia is standing here, preparing to obey your orders.”
”Now, as long as you answer me, tell me frankly and honestly, you really want to kill our daughter?” Queen Krutenyestella said coldly.
In this case, Agamemnon was snoozed.
How do you answer this yourself?
Originally, Agamemnon planned to take his daughter, Ifenegenia, out, not knowing where the queen would get the news, which made her passive.
Do you have to confess to killing her in front of your daughter and son?
Agamemnon stood there, silent for a long time, finally crying in despair, his voice was miserable and desperate: ”Ah, goddess of fate! You have leaked my secret and everything is over.”
”Agamemnon, now you listen to me, our marriage began with sin.” Queen Cluteniestra saw him undeniably, her heart sinking, a hint of despair emerged, her voice sharpened.
”You hijacked me with violence and killed my ex-husband. I was married to Tantalus, the son of Tiestus.”
”At that time, not only did you kill my husband, but you also took my child from your arms, and in front of me, you killed him cruelly.”
”I cried, my brothers Castor and Poludius lead soldiers to chase you. You have no choice but to ask my elderly father, Tindarius, for protection. He saw you pitifully and saved you. And made you my husband. ”
”Even if you treat me so cruelly and kill my ex-husband, my child, but my father asked me to marry you, I still keep my vows at marriage, be a faithful wife, and make you happy at home and outside Proud, I gave you three daughters and a son. ”
”You and I have been married for more than ten years. Have I ever been sorry for you?” Speaking of this, the queen Cluteniestra had tears in her face and screamed, ”What reward do you give me now?”
”Will you take my daughter Ifingenia? Why? For your authority? For your brother Menelaus to recapture his unfaithful wife? You will kill your daughter. ? ”
”You are fighting for Menelaus, do you want me to sacrifice my daughter in order to keep him his daughter, Hermione?”
”Have you already entered the realm of hades? How can you be so cruel?” Said Queen Cluteniestra, crying silently.
Iphigenia had originally heard that her mother wanted to hide by herself, but she didn't understand the meaning. After hearing these words from her mother, Krutenyestella, she realized that her father Agamemnon was going to kill her, which made her almost disappointed. Can't believe my ears.
How can I do such a cruel thing when my father loved her so much?
She knelt down in front of her father Agamemnon, tears streaming down, her voice hoarse and helpless.
”Father, if I have Orpheus's magical harp, if I have the sound of touching the rock, then I can use your music to touch your heart and speak eloquent words to arouse your sympathy!”
”But I don't have this ability. Only tears are my only weapon.”
”People who ask others for mercy all have an olive branch in their hands, and I have to replace the olive branch with my hands. Father, don't let me die at such a young age! Do you really want to kill me?”
”Oh, don't do that.”
”I begged you in the presence of my mother to let go of your poor daughter Ifingenia. My mother gave birth to me in October and now she feels more pain when I think of my death.”
”What does Helen and Paris have to do with me? Paris came to Greece and committed a crime. You should go to him. Why should I be damned?”
”Oh, father, look into my eyes, pity me!”
Facing death and facing her father, Iphigenia gave unprecedented courage.
Agamemnon stood quietly. If he said that he was still guilty just now, listening to the cry of the queen Cluteniestra and the begging of his daughter Iphegenia, he broke the jar and broke his heart. It was as cold as a stone.
”As long as jurisprudence allows me to sympathize with my daughter Iphegenia, I will sympathize with her, because I love my child deeply, otherwise I will be worse than a beast.”
”But I'm doing terrible things with a heavy heart now, because I have to.”
”You see, this is how big a fleet is commanded by me. How many princes and kings wear armor and stand around me.”
