ETEOCLES
Oedipi, Thebanorum Regis fil. ex nefando Iocastae matris concubitu editur, cum fratre Polynice ita convenerat, ut alternis Annis regnarent. Exacto deinde primo Anno, cum Eteocles, qui, quod maior natu esset., primo Anno regnarat, renueret fratri regno cedere, Polynices adiutus a Tydeo, et Adrasto socero fratri bellum intulit, in quo ambo mutuis vulneribus cecidêrunt. Impositis deinde cadaveribus eidem rogo, flammam se divisisse tradunt, quasi odium illud, quod inter vivos fuerat, ne morte quidem finiri potuerit. Euseb. Apollod. Stat. l. 12. Theb. v. 41.

Aspiciant.
Ibid. v. 429. et seqq.
Ecce iterum fratris primos ut contigit artus
Ignis edax, tremuere rogi, et novus advena bustis
Pellitur, exundant diviso vertice flammae,
Alternosiive apices abruptâ luce coruscant.
Pallidus Eumenidum veluti commiserit ignes
Orcus, uterqueve minax globus, et conatur uterque
Longius ipse etiam commoto pondere paulum
Secessere trabes. ---- ----
Ovid. Trist. l. 5. Eleg. 5. v. 33.
Scinditur in partes atra favilla duas.
