Aethra: Not his, but the sons of the fallen slain.

Theseus: Why are they come to us, with suppliant hand outstretched?

Aethra: I know; but 'tis for them to tell their story, my son.

Theseus: To thee, in thy mantle muffled, I address my inquiries; thy
head, let lamentation be, and speak; for naught can be achieved save
through the utterance of thy tongue.

Adrastus: (rising) Victorious prince of the Athenian realm, Theseus,
to thee and to thy city I, a suppliant, come.

Theseus: What seekest thou? What need is thine?

Adrastus: Dost know how I did lead an expedition to its ruin?

Theseus: Assuredly; thou didst not pass through Hellas, all in silence.
