so that they may hang from your house. You father, receive them in your hands. Preening yourself in my catch, call your friends to a feast. For you are blessed, blessed, now that we have performed these deeds.
1244
Kadmos
O grief beyond measuring, one which I cannot stand to see,
that you have performed murder with miserable hands. Having cast down a fine sacrificial victim to the gods, you invite Thebes and me to a banquet. Alas, first for your troubles, then for my own. How justly, yet too severely,
lord Bromius the god has destroyed us, though he is a member of our own family.
Agave
How morose and sullen in its countenance is mans old age! I hope that my son is a good hunter, taking after his mothers ways, when he goes after wild beasts
