Chorus
Dear son of Oedipus, I grew afraid when I heard the clatter of the crashing chariots, [205] when the hubs screamed as they whirled around the wheel, and when I heard the sound of the steering gear, fire-forged bits, in the horses' mouths. Eteocles
Well, then, has a helmsman ever found a way to safety by fleeing from stern to prow, [210] when his ship is foundering in high seas?
