Stasimon 7
[Choral]
A tale of destruction!
Ismene
Destruction to look upon!
Antigone
Oh, the grief—
1000
Antigone
For home and land.
Antigone
And more also for me.
Ismene
Ah I pity your grievous suffering, my king.
1005
Antigone
Pity for you both, most lamentable of all men.
Ismene
You were possessed by delusion.
Antigone
Where shall we lay them in the earth?
Ismene
Ah, where their honor is greatest.
Antigone
To lie beside their father, a cause for him of sorrow.
