You are laid out for mourning—
Ismene
Though you did the killing.
966
Antigone
Ah me!
Ismene
Ah me!
Antigone
My heart is mad with wailing.
Ismene
My heart groans within me.
Antigone
Ah, the grief, brother all-lamentable.
Ismene
And you also, brother all-wretched.
Antigone
You perished at the hands of your nearest and dearest.
Ismene
And you killed your nearest and dearest.
Antigone
Twofold to tell of—
Ismene
Twofold to look upon—
Antigone
Are these sorrows so close to those.
Ismene
Fraternal sorrows stand close by fraternal sorrows.
Chorus
O Fate, giver of grievous troubles, and awful shade of Oedipus, black Erinys, you are indeed a mighty force.
980
Antigone
Ah, me
Ismene
Ah, me
Antigone
Sorrows hard to behold—
Ismene
He showed me when he returned from exile.
Antigone
But he made no return after he had killed.
Ismene
He was saved, but lost his life.
Antigone
He lost it, all too truly.
Ismene
And took this one’s life away.
Antigone
Wretched family!
Ismene
Wretched suffering!
Antigone
Kindred sorrows full of groans!
Ismene
Sorrows steeped in tripled griefs.
Chorus
O Fate, giver of grievous troubles, and awful shade of Oedipus, black Erinys, you are indeed a mighty force.
994
Antigone
Now you know of the Erinys by experience—
Ismene
And you are made aware no later—
