Adrastus: They fought together, Tydeus with Polyneices.

Theseus: Didst thou give thy daughters to them as to wild beasts?

Adrastus: Yea, for, as they fought, I likened them to those monsters
twain.

Theseus: Why had they left the borders of their native land and come
to thee?

Adrastus: Tydeus was exiled for the murder of a kinsman.

Theseus: Wherefore had the son of Oedipus left Thebes?

Adrastus: By reason of his father's curse, not to spill his brother's
blood.

Theseus: Wise no doubt that voluntary exile.
