Eteocles: Pray, what scheme is wiser than mine?

Creon: They have seven chiefs, I hear.

Eteocles: What is their appointed task? their might can be but feeble.

Creon: To lead the several companies and storm our seven gates.

Eteocles: What are we to do? I will not wait till every chance is
gone.

Creon: Choose seven chiefs thyself to set against them at the gates.

Eteocles: To lead our companies, or to fight single-handed?

Creon: Choose our very bravest men to lead the troops.

Eteocles: I understand; to repel attempts at scaling our walls.
