  • But now at last our new king is coming: Creon of Thebes, Menoikeus' son. In this auspicious dawn of his reign what are the new complexities that shifting fate has woven for him? What is his counsel? Why has he summoned the old men to hear him?
  • Eteocles, who died as a man should die, fighting for his country, is to be buried with full military honors, with all the ceremony that is usual when the greatest heros die; but his brother polyneices, who broke his exile to come back with fire and sword against his native city and the shrines of his fathers gods, whose one idea was to spill the blood of his blood and sell his own people into slavery---polyneices, I say is to have no burial.
  • Well, then: The dead man--Polyneices -- out there -- someone, -- someone has given it a burial that way, and gone. 
  • Out with it!
  • Stop! Must you doddering wrecks go out of your heads entirely? "The Gods" Intolerable! The gods favor this corpse? Why? How had he served them? Tried to loot their temples, burn their images, Yes, and the whole state and ts law with it!
  • I have been wondering. King: can it be that the gods have done this?
  • How dreadful it is when the right judges wrong wrong!
  • Sold your soul for some silver: that's all you've done.
  • Your figures of speech may entertain you now; but unless you bring me the man, you will get little profit from them in the end.
  • "Bring me the man" --! I'd like nothing better than bringing him the man! But bring him or not. You have seen the last of me here. At any rate, I am safe!
