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.
Eteocles
Be silent, wretched woman; do not terrify your own men.
Chorus
I am silent. I will suffer what is destined together with the others.
Eteocles
I welcome this sentiment of yours over what you said before.
