Amphitryon: Fortune has spread her wings, and we are ruined, ruined.

Theseus: What meanest thou? what hath he done?

Amphitryon: Slain them in a wild fit of frenzy with arrows dipped
in the venom of the hundred-headed hydra.

Theseus: This is Hera's work; but who lies there among the dead, old man?

Amphitryon: My son, my own enduring son, that marched with gods to
Phlegra's plain, there to battle with giants and slay them, warrior
that he was.

Theseus: Ah, woe for him! whose fortune was e'er so curst as his?

Amphitryon: Never wilt thou find another that hath borne a larger
share of suffering or been more fatally deceived.
