Heracles: Great Apollo! what a prelude to thy story!

Megara: Dead are my brethren, dead my hoary sire.

Heracles: How so? what befell him? who dealt the fatal blow?

Megara: Lycus, our splendid monarch, slew him.

Heracles: Did he meet him in fair fight, or was the land sick and
weak?

Megara: Aye, from faction; now is he master of the city of Cadmus
with its seven gates.

Heracles: Why hath panic fallen on thee and my aged sire?

Megara: He meant to kill thy father, me, and my children.
