In the midst of the battle, Antanas laments that the people have gone mad, and that the invincible warrior has been defeated by a "sagarian" . Antonnia points out that this is the same warrior who claimed to be the descendant of the "god of war" and who has won 200 battles in a row. She also criticizes the "despicable" and "shameful" use of "hand-to-hand tactics" by the defeated warrior. She asks why no one offers him his blood as a sacrifice and asks forgiveness from "the god of war." Antanasys retorts that it is not unreasonable to kill a warrior after he has won.
