In this short scene, Desdemona tells her husband that she is fine and that she was dead, but that Hades saw that he was going against her and let her back. She tells him that she will live a long and happy life with lots of children. She promises him that if he rejects her, her family's bloodline will vanish. He tells her that a lot of insects have retreated three miles from the city, and that he may know how to get rid of them. The next day, he tells her, many constructions will be going on all over the place, and he will need to borrow money to pay for them.
