I will fetch you from Thebes to Athens. But carry my children within, a grievous burden to the earth. And I, after ruining my house by deeds of shame, will follow as a little boat in the wake of Theseus, a total wreck.
Heracles
Whoever prefers wealth or might to the possession of good friends, thinks wrongly.1425
Chorus
With grief and many a bitter tear we go our way, robbed of all we prized most dearly.
