Are those his children, those boys who stand round him?
Aethra
Not his, but the sons of the fallen slain.
Theseus
Why are they come to us, with suppliant hand outstretched?
Aethra
I know; but tis for them to tell their story, my son.
Theseus
To thee, in thy mantle muffled, I address my inquiries; unveil thy head, let lamentation be, and speak; for naught can be achieved save through the utterance of thy tongue.[*]

Victorious prince of the Athenian realm, Theseus, to thee and to thy city I, a suppliant, come.
Theseus
What seekest thou? What need is thine?
Adrastus
Dost know how I did lead an expedition to its ruin?
