Heracles: Why, what had he to fear from my orphan babes?

Megara: He was afraid they might some day avenge Creon's death.

Heracles: What means this dress they wear, suited to the dead?

Megara: 'Tis the garb of death we have already put on.

Heracles: And were ye being haled to death? O woe is me!

Megara: Yes, deserted by every friend, and informed that thou wert dead.

Heracles: What put such desperate thoughts into your heads?

Megara: That was what the heralds of Eurystheus kept proclaiming.
