You could not name how dear it is!JocastaHow did you come to Argos? What was your scheme?PolyneicesLoxias gave Adrastus an oracle.JocastaWhat was it? What are you saying? I cannot guess.PolyneicesThat he should marry his daughters to a boar and a lion.JocastaWhat did you, my son, have to do with the name of beasts?PolyneicesI don’t know; the deity summoned me there to my destiny.JocastaYes, for the god is wise; but how did you win your wife?PolyneicesIt was night when I reached the porch of Adrastus.JocastaIn search of a resting-place, because you were in exile?PolyneicesYes; and then another exile came there.JocastaWho was he? He too was in trouble, surely.PolyneicesTydeus; they say that Oineus is his father.JocastaBut why did Adrastus compare you to wild beasts?PolyneicesBecause we came to blows about our bed.JocastaWas it then that the son of Talaus understood the oracle?PolyneicesYes, and he gave the two of us his two daughters.
