If it is fated, then I must die.
Antigone
No, no, listen to my prayer!
Polyneices
Do not plead for what must not be.
Antigone
Then I, indeed, am utterly wretched, if I must lose you!
Polyneices
It rests with the divinity, this way or that. But as for you two,
I pray to the gods that you may never meet with evil; for in all mens eyes you do not deserve to suffer. Polyneices exits.
1448
Chorus
Behold, new ills of heavy fate have newly come from the blind stranger,
unless, perhaps, fate is finding its goal. I cannot say that a purpose of the divinities is ever vain. Time sees all things forever, and raises up some things,
then on the next day raises others back up again. The sky resounds! Zeus!
Thunder.
Oedipus
Children, children! If there is any man still here, send him forth to bring back Theseus, excellent in all respects.
Antigone
And what, father, is the purpose of your summons?
