How dost thou explain the message of the god?
Adrastus
One night came to my door two exiles.
Theseus
The name of each declare; thou art speaking of both together.
Adrastus
They fought together, Tydeus with Polynices.
Theseus
Didst thou give thy daughters to them as to wild beasts?
Adrastus
Yea, for, as they fought, I likened them to those monsters twain.
Theseus
Why had they left the borders of their native land and come to thee?
Adrastus
Tydeus was exiled for the murder of a kinsman.
