Polyneices: Loxias had given Adrastus an oracle.

Jocasta: What was it? what meanest thou? I cannot guess.

Polyneices: That he should wed his daughters to a boar and a lion.

Jocasta: What hadst thou, my son, to do with the name of beasts?

Polyneices: It was night when I reached the porch of Adrastus.

Jocasta: In search of a resting-place, or wandering thither in thy
exile?

Polyneices: Yes, I wandered thither; and so did another like me.

Jocasta: Who was he? he too it seems was in evil plight.

Polyneices: Tydeus, son of Oeneus, was his name.
