Amphitryon: Why, didst thou in very deed go to the house of Hades,
my son?

Heracles: Aye, and brought to the light that three-headed monster.

Amphitryon: Didst worst him in fight, or receive him from the goddess?

Heracles: In fair fight; for I had been lucky enough to witness the
rites of the initiated.

Amphitryon: Is the monster really lodged in the house of Eurystheus?

Heracles: The grove of Demeter and the city of Hermione are his prison.

Amphitryon: Does not Eurystheus know that thou hast returned to the
upper world?

Heracles: He knows not; I came hither first to learn your news.
