Eksodos
Hecuba
The captive women have huts of their own.
Polymestor
It is safe to enter? are there no men about?
Hecuba
There are no Achaeans within; we women are alone. Enter then the tent, for the Argives
are eager to set sail from Troy for home; and, when you have accomplished all that you must do, you shall return with your children to the place where you have lodged my son. Hecuba leads Polymestor and his children into the tent.

Chorus
Not yet have you paid the penalty, but perhaps you will.
