As for the noble son of Oecleus, him, while yet he lived, the gods snatched hence to the bowels of the earth, and. his chariot too, manifestly blessing him; while I myself may truthfully tell the praises of the son of Oedipus, that is, Polynices,
for he was my guest-friend ere he left the town of Cadmus and crossed to Argos in voluntary exile. But dost thou know what I would have thee do in this matter?
Adrastus
I know naught save this,—to yield obedience to thy hests.
Theseus
As for yon Capaneus, stricken by the bolt of Zeus
Adrastus
Wilt bury him apart as a consecrated corpse?
Theseus
Even so; but all the rest on one funeral pyre.
Adrastus
Where wilt thou set the tomb apart for him?
Theseus
Here near this temple have I builded him a sepulchre.
