with arrows dipped in the venom of the hundred-headed hydra.
Theseus
This is Heras work; but who lies there among the dead, old man?
Amphitryon
My son, my own enduring son, that marched with gods to Phlegras plain, there to battle with giants and slay them, warrior that he was.
Theseus
Ah, ah! whose fortune was ever so cursed as his?
Amphitryon
Never will you find another mortal that has suffered more or been driven harder.
Theseus
Why does he veil his head, poor wretch, in his robe?
Amphitryon
He is ashamed to meet your eye;
his kinsmans kind intent and his childrens blood make him abashed.
Theseus
But I come to sympathize; uncover him.
Amphitryon
My son, remove that mantle
from your eyes, throw it from you, show your face to the sun. As a counterweight, fighting along with my tears, I entreat you as a suppliant, as I grasp your beard, your knees, your hands, and let fall
