Eksodos

Hyllus

I shall not suffer, since I will keep it. Yet so I pray. 1190

Heracles

Good, then do you know the summit of Oeta, Zeus’s sacred mountain?

Hyllus

I know it. I have often stood on that height to sacrifice.

Heracles

Then, you must carry my body there after raising it up in your own hands, aided by as many of our friends as you require;

and when you have cut many a branch from the deep-rooted oak and chopped down many a sturdy wild-olive, you must lay my body on them and with a flaming pine-torch burn it. And let no tear of mourning show itself there. 1195

No, do this without laments or tears, if you are indeed my son. But if you fail to do this, even from the world below my curse and my wrath shall await you for ever. 1200

Hyllus

Ah, Father, what have you said? What you have done to me!

Heracles

I have spoken that which you must perform. If you refuse,

then get yourself some other father, and be called my son no longer! 1205

Hyllus

Ah, me! What deeds you call on me to do, Father—that I should become your murderer, polluted with your blood!

Heracles

Not so, in truth, but healer of my sufferings, sole physician of my pain!

Hyllus

And how, by inflaming your body, shall I heal it? 1210

Heracles
