ye know; is he within the palace here?
Chorus
Lo! himself approaches from the palace.
Messenger
Theseus, I am the bearer of troublous tidings to thee and all citizens who dwell in Athens or the bounds of Troezen.
Theseus
How now? hath some strange calamity overtaken these two neighbouring cities?
Messenger
In one brief word, Hippolytus is dead. Tis true one slender thread still links him to the light of life.
Theseus
Who slew him? Did some husband come to blows with him,
one whose wife, like mine, had suffered brutal violence?
Messenger
He perished through those steeds that drew his chariot, and through the curses thou didst utter, praying to thy sire, the ocean-king, to slay thy son.
Theseus
Ye gods and king Poseidon, thou hast proved my parentage
by hearkening to my prayer! Say how he perished; how fell the uplifted hand of Justice to smite the villain who dishonoured me?
