The twins Amphion, Zethos, born to Zeus.

This Lukos' son,—named like his father too,

No born Kadmeian but Euboia's gift,—

Comes and kills Kreon, lords it o'er the land,

Falling upon our town sedition-sick.

To us, akin to Kreon, just that bond

Becomes the worst of evils, seemingly;

For, since my son in the earth's abysms,

This man of valor, Lukos, lord and king,

Seeks now to slay these sons of Herakles,
