[Several soldiers come from among the trees, with Agathon the Cappadocian in their midst.
The second Soldier.
Ho-ho; a deserter.
One of the New-comers.
No; he has gone out of his mind.
Agathon.
I have not gone out of my mind. Oh, for God’s great mercy’s sake,—let me go!
The Soldier from the Outposts.
He says he wants to slay a beast with seven heads.
Agathon.
