Yes, for he wishes it. But I must not yield.
Antigone
Ah, wretched me! But who will dare follow you, when he hears what prophecies this man has uttered?
Polyneices
I will not report ill-tidings; a good leader should tell the better news, and not the worse.
1431
Antigone
Is this then your fixed decision, my brother?
Polyneices
Yes, and do not detain me. This path now will be my destiny, ill-fated and evil, because of my father here and his Furies. But as for you two,
may Zeus grant you good things, if you bring these things to completion for me when I am dead, since in life you will see me no more.
Now release me, and farewell; for nevermore will you behold me living.
Antigone
Ah, wretched that I am!
Polyneices
Do not mourn for me.
Antigone
And who would not mourn you, brother, when you are hurrying off
to a death foreseen?
