Ueber den Dächern stehend, umgähnt'
Er den siebenthorigen Mund
Mit blutlechzenden Speeren rings,
Und floh, eh' in unserem Blut

Sich sein gieriger Schlund
Schwelgend füllt und ehe den Kranz der Thürme
Flammenglut des Hephästos fraß.
Also braust' im Rücken umher
Donner des Kriegs; schwer wurde der Kampf

HEM. Reason, my father, by the gods is giv'n
To men, the noblest treasure we can boast.
That without reason thou hast framed thy speech
I can not say, I know not how to say,
685
This with more grace some other may pronounce.
Me nature bids with deep attention mark
Respecting thee how each may speak, how act,
How blame in words that would offend thy ears.
Thy presence on the people strikes an awe;
690
Their secret murmurs it is mine to hear;
For Thebes laments this virgin, as her fate
Of all her sex the least deserving, doom'd
Most wretchedly for glorious deeds to die :....
"That she her brother's corse, in battle slain,
"Disdains to leave unburied, to be torn
695
" By hungry dogs and ravenous beasts of prey,
"Deserves she not for this the brightest meed
" Of golden honour?" Such the general voice,
Which in dark murmurs whispers discontent.
The world hath not a treasure which I prize
High as thy prosperous honours; to a son...
700
There is no ornament to grace his name
Bright as his father's glory; and on him.
Again th' illustrious son fresh glory beams.
Far be this temper from thy mind, to think
What thou may'st say, and nothing else, is right.
705
Whoe'er imagines prudence all his own,
Or deems that he hath pow'rs to speak and judge,
Such as none other hath, when they are known
They are found shallow. There are many things
Which e'en the wise without disgrace may learn,
And yield convinc'd. Beneath the wintry storms
710
Thou seest the trees, that bend their heads, preserve
Their branching honours; those which boldly dare
The tyrannous blasts, uprooted fall and die.
The pilot thus, who proudly swells his sails
With vigour unrelax'd, o'ersets his bark,
715
Then on the shatter'd planks at random floats.!
715
Abate thy anger then, and let thy thoughts
Yield to cool reason: if my younger years
Have aught of judgment, I
I esteem that man...
Of most exalted merit, whose large mind
720
Contains all knowledge: but since nature deigns
This ample grace to few, from those who speak
And counsel well our glory is to learn.

Chorus
Shaft of the sun, fairest light of all that have dawned on
Thebes
of the seven gates, you have shone forth at last, eye of golden day, advancing over Dirce’s streams!
100
You have goaded with a sharper bit the warrior of the white shield, who came from
Argos
in full armor, driving him to headlong retreat.

Chorus
He set out against our land because of the strife-filled claims of Polyneices, and like a screaming eagle he flew over into our land, covered by his snow-white wing,
110
with a mass of weapons and crested helmets.

Chorus
He paused above our dwellings; he gaped around our sevenfold portals with spears thirsting for blood; but he left
before his jaws were ever glutted with our gore, or before the Fire-god’s pine-fed flame had seized our crown of towers.
120
So fierce was the crash of battle swelling about his back, a match too hard to win for the rival of the dragon.

Chorus
For Zeus detests above all the boasts of a proud tongue. And when he saw them advancing in a swollen flood,
arrogant their clanging gold, he dashed with brandished fire one who was already starting to shout victory when he had reached our ramparts.

Chorus
Staggered, he fell to the earth with a crash,
torch in hand, a man possessed by the frenzy of the mad attack, who just now was raging against us with the blasts of his tempestuous hate. But his threats did not fare as he had hoped, and to the other enemies mighty Ares dispensed each their own dooms with hard blows,
135
Ares, our mighty ally at the turning-point.

Chorus
For the seven captains, stationed against an equal number at the seven gates, left behind their brazen arms in tribute to Zeus the turner of battle—all but the accursed pair who, born of one father and one
mother, set against each other their spears, both victorious, and who now share in a common death.

Chorus
But since Victory whose name is glory has come to us, smiling in joy equal to the joy of chariot-rich
Thebes
,
let us make for ourselves forgetfulness after the recent wars, and visit all the temples of the gods with night-long dance and song. And may Bacchus, who shakes the earth of
Thebes
, rule our dancing!

But look, the king of the land is coming here, Creon, the son of Menoeceus, our new ruler in accordance with the new circumstances fated by the gods. What policy is he setting in motion,
155
that he has proposed this special conference of elders, and summoned it by a general mandate?
