Adrastus: But those who stayed at home were for injuring the absent.

Theseus: What! did brother rob brother of his inheritance?

Adrastus: To avenge this I set out; hence my ruin.

Theseus: Didst consult seers, and gaze into the flame of burnt-offerings?

Adrastus: Ah me! thou pressest on the very point wherein I most did

Theseus: It seems thy going was not favoured by heaven.

Adrastus: Worse; I went in spite even of Amphiaraus.

Theseus: And so heaven lightly turned its face from thee.

Adrastus: I was carried away by the clamour of younger men.
