L'Érinys à l'égide noire n'abandonne-t-elle pas les maisons, le jour où les dieux agréent les offrandes qu'on leur tend ?
ÉTÉOCLE

Ah, be not urged of her! for none shall dare
To call thee
coward, in thy throned estate!
Will not the Fury in her sable pall
Pass outward from these halls, what time the gods
Welcome a votive offering from our hands?

The gods! long since they hold us in contempt,
Scornful of gifts thus offered by the lost!
Why should we fawn and flinch away from doom?
