Euripide, Iphigénie à Aulis. 1585. Un Messager : Le prêtre poussa un cri, auquel toute l'armée répondit, à la vue d'un prodige inattendu, œuvre de quelque divinité & que les yeux se refusaient à croire: à terre gisait palpitante une biche d'une grande taille & d'une grande beauté, dont le sang arrosait à flots l'autel de la déesse.

Euripides, Iphigenia in Aulis. 1585. Messenger : The priest cried out, and all the army took up the cry at the sight of a marvel all unlooked for, due to some god's agency, and passing all belief, although it was seen; for there upon the ground lay a deer of immense size, magnificent to see, gasping out her life, with whose blood the altar of the goddess was thoroughly bedewed.
