Let the dead now be buried in the earth, and each element return to the place from where it came to the body, the breath to the air, the body to the ground; for in no way did we get it for our own, but to live our life in, and after that its mother earth must take it back again.

ought, this too is bravery. Chorus Leader The punishment Zeus has inflicted was surely enough; there was no need to heap this wanton insult on us. Adrastus Abandoned wretch!— Theseus Peace, Adrastus! say no more; do not set your words before mine, for it is not to you this fellow has come with his message, but to me, and I must answer him. Your first assertion I will answer first: I am not aware that Creon is my lord and master, or that his power outweighs mine, that so he should compel Athens to act in this way; no! for then would the tide of time have to flow backward, if we are to be ordered, as he thinks.
