Messenger: Ay, each of the seven chiefs who led their famous hosts.

Adrastus: What sayest thou? the rest who fell-say, where are they?

Messenger: They have found burial in the dells of Cithaeron.

Adrastus: On this or that side of the mount? And who did bury them?

Messenger: Theseus buried them 'neath the shadow of Eleutherae's cliff.

Adrastus: Where didst thou leave the dead he hath not buried?

Messenger: Not far away; earnest haste makes every goal look close.

Adrastus: No doubt in sorrow slaves would gather them from the carnage.

Messenger: Slaves! not one of them was set to do this toil.

(A speech belonging to Adrastus has been lost.)
