Αν. ὦ γῆς Θήβης ἄστυ πατρῶιον / καὶ θεοὶ προγενεῖς, / ἀγουμαι δὴ ’γὼ κοὐκετι μέλλοω. / λεύσεττε, Θήβης οἱ κοιρανίδαι, / τὴν βασιλειδῶν μούνην λοιπήν, / οἷα πρὸς οἵων ἀνδρῶν πάσχω, / τὴν εὐσεβίαν σεβίσασα.

Now past the “Πολλὰ τὰ δεινὰ” song, which has got to be an unrelated text that was merely repurposed for this play.

Enjoying this first dive into Greek drama so far, but in a text with commentary like "This single period contains five enjambments, anaphora, alliteration, and strained word order", much slower going than the Greek prose I was used to reading.
