Evadne: A victory o'er all women on whom the sun looks down.

Iphis: In Athena's handiwork or in prudent counsel?

Evadne: In bravery; for I will lay me down and die with my lord.

Iphis: What dost thou say? What is this silly riddle thou propoundest?

Evadne: To yonder pyre where lies dead Capaneus, I will leap down.

Iphis: My daughter, speak not thus before the multitude!

Evadne: The very thing I wish, that every Argive should learn it.

Iphis: Nay, I will ne'er consent to let thee do this deed.

Evadne: 'Tis all one; thou shalt never catch me in thy grasp. Lo!
I cast me down, no joy to thee, but to myself and to my husband blazing
on the pyre with me. (She leaps into the pyre.)
