ὦ Ζεῦ τε καὶ Γῆ καὶ πολισσοῦχοι θεοίETEOCLES: O Zeus and Earth, and gods that guard our city, and Curse, potent agent of my father's vengeance, do not destroy my city, ripping it up from its foundations, captive of the enemy, a city that speaks in Greece's tongue, and do not destroy our hearths and homes. May they never hold the free land and city of Cadmus beneath the yoke of slavery! Be our protection! I am certain that what I ask is in our common interest; for a State that prospers pays honors to its gods. (Exit Eteocles, with citizens. The Chorus enters in fearful agitation.]
