I tell thee it is hallowed; it belongs
To the dread Daughters of the Earth and Night.
OEDIPUS.
What is their name? With reverence I would ask.
STRANGER.
With us, the Eumenides, of sleepless eye;
But different names seem good in different lands.
OEDIPUS.
May they receive the suppliant to their grace,
For I intend no more to leave this ground.
STRANGER.
What means this?
