What do you think?
Antigone
How we are to go home, I cannot tell.
Chorus
Do not seek to go.
Antigone
Trouble surrounds us.
Chorus
And previously it bore heavily.
Antigone
Then it was desperate, but now even crueler.
Chorus
Vast, then, is the sea of your troubles.
Antigone
Alas, alas! Zeus, where shall we turn?
To what last hope does the divinity now drive us?
1751
Enter Theseus.
Theseus
Cease your lament, children! Where the favor of the nether night is stored up, there is no room for sorrow; divine retribution would follow.
Antigone
Son of Aegeus, we supplicate you!
