Tis thy own darling, thy own settler in the city of Argos that I[*] am striving to rescue for the funeral pyre from outrageous insult.
634
Messenger
Ladies, I bring you tidings of great joy, myself escapedfor I was taken prisoner in the battle
which cost those chieftains seven their lives near Dirces fountto bear the news of Theseus victory. But I will save thee tedious questioning; I was the servant of Capaneus,
whom Zeus with scorching bolt to ashes burnt.
Chorus
Friend of friends, fair thy news of thy own return, nor less the news about Theseus; and if the host of Athens, too, is safe, welcome will all thy message be.
Messenger
Tis safe, and all hath happened as I would it had befallen Adrastus
and his Argives, whom from Inachus he led, to march against the city of the Cadmeans.
Chorus
How did the son of Aegeus and his fellow-warriors raise their trophy to Zeus? Tell us, for thou wert there and canst gladden us who were not.
