EURIPIDES.


Amphitryon.

Son, didst thou verily go to Hades' halls? 610


Herakles.

Yea; the three-headed hound I brought to light.


Amphitryon.

Vanquished in fight, or by the Goddess given?


Herakles.

In fight. I had seen the Mysteries—well for me!


Amphitryon.

How, is the monster in Eurystheus' halls?


Herakles.

Nay, in Demeter's Grove, in Hermion's town. 615


Amphitryon.

Nor knows Eurystheus thou art risen to day?


Herakles.

Nay; hither first, to know your state, I came.


Amphitryon.

How wast thou so long time beneath the earth?


Herakles.

From Hades rescuing Theseus, tarried I.


Amphitryon.

Where is he? Hath he passed to his fatherland? 620
