Eteocles: What news does he bring from their camp?

Creon: He says the Argive army intend at once to draw a ring of troops
round the city of Thebes, about its towers.

Eteocles: In that case the city of Cadmus must lead out its troops.

Creon: Whither? art thou so young that thine eyes see not what they
should?

Eteocles: Across yon trenches for immediate action.

Creon: Our Theban forces are small, while theirs are numberless.

Eteocles: I well know they are reputed brave.

Creon: No mean repute have those Argives among Hellenes.

Eteocles: Never fear! I will soon fill the plain with their dead.
