Agamemnon:
[approaches king]
Good day for the crows.
Triopas:
Remove your army from my land.
Agamemnon:
Why, I like your land, I think we'll stay. I like your soldiers too.
Triopas:
They won't fight for you.
Agamemnon:
That's what the Messenians said, and the Acardians, and the Opeians, now they all fight for me.
Triopas:
You can't have the whole world, Agamemnon. It's too big, even for you.
Agamemnon:
I don't want to watch another massacre. Let's settle this war in the old manner. Your best fighter against my best.
Triopas:
And if my man wins?
Agamemnon:
We'll leave Thessaly for good.
Triopas:
Boagrius!
[cheers from Thessalian army. Boagrius comes out from the centre of the army]
Agamemnon:
Achilles!
[silence]
Triopas:
Boagrius has this effect on many heroes.
Agamemnon:
Be careful who you insult, old king.
Greek Soldier:
My king, Achilles is not with the army.
Agamemnon:
Where is he?
Greek Soldier:
I sent a boy to look for him.
