Where is the deed which backs that threatening word? Creon One of your two daughters I have myself just seized and sent away. The other I will drag off immediately. Oedipus Oh, no! Creon You will soon find more to weep about. Oedipus You have my child? Creon And I will have this one in no long time. Oedipus Oh! Strangers, what will you do? Will you betray me? Will you not drive the godless man from this land? Chorus Depart, stranger! Quick! Your present deed is not just, nor the deed which you have done. Creon To his attendants. It is time for you to drag this girl off against her will, if she will not go freely. Antigone Wretched that I am! Where can I flee? Where find help from gods or men? Chorus What are you doing, stranger? Creon I will not touch this man, but her who is mine. Oedipus Lords of the land! Chorus Stranger, you are acting unjustly. Creon Justly. Chorus How? Creon I take my own. He lays his hand on Antigone. Oedipus Oh, city ! Chorus What are you doing, stranger? Release her! Your strength and ours will soon come to the test. Creon Stand back! Chorus Not while this is your purpose. Creon There will be war with Thebes for you, if you harm me. Oedipus Did I not say so? Chorus Unhand the girl at once! Creon Do not make commands where you are not the master. Chorus Let go, I tell you! Creon To his guards, who seize Antigone. And I tell you: be off! Chorus Help, men of Colonus , bring help! The city, our city, is attacked by force! Come to our aid!
