Da bringen sie schon den gesammelten Staub
Der Erschlagenen her. Stüzt, Sclavinnen, mich
1100
Unmachtige Greisin, da mir die Kraft
Mein Schmerz um die Söhne geraubt hat!
So lange ja wandl' ich schon in der Zeit, 1
Und zehre mich ab in unendlichem Harm.
Denn wo gåb' es ein Leid,
1105
Das schmerzlicher rührt' an ein menschliches Herz,
Als Gram um verlorene Kinder?
Die Söhne der Helden bringen ihre Asche. Theseus
Adrastos. Der Chor.
