I am terrifiedthe crashing at the gates is increasing.
Eteocles
Wont you be silent, and speak none of this throughout the city?
Chorus
Divine company, do not betray our fortifications!
Eteocles
Damn you! Will you not endure these events in silence?
Chorus
Gods of our city! Do not let my fate be slavery!
Eteocles
You would enslave both me and all the city.
Chorus
Almighty Zeus, turn your missile against the enemy!
Eteocles
O Zeus, what a breed you have made for us in women!
Chorus
A breed steeped in misery, just like men whose city is captured.
Eteocles
Why are your words ill-omened, when you still grasp the gods statues?
Chorus
In my weakness fear controls my tongue.
Eteocles
If only you would grant my plea for a small service.
Chorus
Please state it as quickly as possible, and I will quickly know what to do.
