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.
