Pr Monologue from Seven Against Thebes

From Seven Against Thebes by Aeschylus

male · defiant · 58 sec

High sounding, i'faith, and full of haughtiness is thy speech, as beseems a lackey of the gods. Young in years, ye are young in power; (77) and ye fancy forsooth that ye dwell in a citadel impregnable against sorrow. Have I not known two monarchs (78) dethroned from it? And the third that now is ruler I shall also see expelled most foully and most quickly. Seem I to thee in aught to be dismayed at, and to crouch beneath the new gods? Widely, ay altogether, do I come short (of such feelings). But do thou hie thee back the way by which thou camest: for not one tittle shalt thou learn of the matter on which thou questionest me.
