Leader: Alcmena, fain I would advise thee somewhat; let this man go,
for 'tis the city's will.

Alcmena: Suppose he die, and yet I obey the city?

Leader: That would be best of all; but how can this be?

Alcmena: I will teach thee easily. I will slay him and then give up
his corpse to those of his friends who come for it, for, as regards
his body, I will not disobey the state; but by his death shall he
pay me the penalty.
