Swift Erinys beheld it, and slew by hands with a brother’s blood gory + 

His warrior sons. When died + 

Polyneikes, Thersander was left to win in a new war glory, + 

The Adrastids’ saviour and pride. + 

From him these trace their descent; and the son of a prince most meetly + 

With all praises of song triumphant and lyres outpealing sweetly + 

This day shall be magnified. + 
