Wherefore had the son of Oedipus left Thebes?
Adrastus
By reason of his fathers curse, not to spill his brothers blood.
Theseus
Wise no doubt that voluntary exile.
Adrastus
But those who stayed at home were for injuring the absent.
Theseus
What! did brother rob brother of his inheritance?
Adrastus
To avenge this I set out; hence my ruin.
Theseus
Didst consult seers, and gaze into the flame of burnt-offerings?
Adrastus
Ah me! thou pressest on the very point, wherein I most did fail.
