One surpass another in different ways, in wealth or power. There are innumerable hopes to innumerable men, and some result in wealth to mortals, while others fail.
But I call him blessed whose life is happy day to day.
912
Dionysus
You who are eager to see what you ought not and hasty in pursuit of what ought not to be pursuedI mean you, Pentheus, come forth before the house, be seen by me,
wearing the clothing of a woman, of an inspired maenad, a spy upon your mother and her company. Pentheus emerges. In appearance you are like one of Kadmos daughters.
Pentheus
Oh look! I think I see two suns, and twin Thebes, the seven-gated city.
