War! what do you mean? who killed these?
Amphitryon
You and your bow and some god, whoever is to blame.
Heracles
What are you saying? what have I done? Speak, father, you messenger of evil!
Amphitryon
You were insane; it is a sad explanation you are asking.
Heracles
Was it I that slew my wife also?
Amphitryon
Your own unaided arm has done all this.
Heracles
Alas! a cloud of mourning wraps me round.
Amphitryon
For this reason I lament your fate.
Heracles
Did I dash my house to pieces in my frenzy?
Amphitryon
I know nothing but this, that you are utterly undone.
Heracles
Where did the madness seize me? where did it destroy me?
