Adrastus: There I lost the pick of Argos' sons.

Theseus: These are the results of that unhappy war.

Adrastus: I went and craved their bodies from Thebes.

Theseus: Didst thou rely on heralds, Hermes' servants, in order to
bury them?

Adrastus: I did; and even then their slayers said me nay.

Theseus: Why, what say they to thy just request?

Adrastus: Say! Success makes them forget how to bear their fortune.

Theseus: Art come to me then for counsel? or wherefore?

Adrastus: With the wish that thou, O Theseus, shouldst recover the
sons of the Argives.
