Eteocles: Zeus, what a curse are women, wrought by thee!

Leader: Weak wretches, even as men, when cities fall.
What! clasping gods, yet voicing thy despair?

Leader: In the sick heart, fear maketh prey of speech.

Eteocles: Light is the thing I ask thee-do my will!

Leader: Ask swiftly: swiftly shall I know my power.

Eteocles: Silence, weak wretch! nor put thy friends in fear.

Leader: I speak no more: the general fate be mine!
