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?
