  1. What indignation makes you resent this?
Eteocles
  1. I do not begrudge your honor of the divine race; but lest you make the citizens cowardly, be calm and do not be overly fearful.
Chorus
  1. When I heard the strange and jumbled clashes,
  2. I came in trembling fear to this citadel, our seat of worship.
