Ein Gewölk von Schilden blizt
250
Rings entflammt um Kadmos' Stadt,
Bild von blut'gen Schlachten, die
Ueber Dedipus' Geschlecht
Ares bald verhängen wird,
Eure Straf, Erinnyen!

Argos, o pelasgisches,
Furchtbar ist mir deine Macht,
Sind die Götter; ungerecht ist
Nicht der Kampf, in den er sturmt gewaffnet,
Der zur Heimat wiederkehrt.
