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.
