prima per attonitas nigrae regina catervae, tristibus illabens famulis iterumque resurgens, quaerit inops Argia vias; non regia cordi, non pater: una fides, unum Polynicis amati nomen in ore sedet; Dircen infaustaque Cadmi moenia posthabitis velit incoluisse Mycenis.
First among the distraught, Argia, queen of the black troop, sinking upon her sorrowing handmaidens and rising again, helplessly seeks her way. She cares not for palace or father. She has one loyalty; one name, her beloved Polynices, is on her lips. She would fain leave Mycenae and dwell by Dirce in Cadmus ill-omened city.
