ETEOCLES: Mother, let me be frank. I want one thing,
And I would pluck the sun and stars out of the sky
Or rake the underworld, to see

That thing is Power - the Power to be a King.

With a brother, when it is mine. I hold it.
He threatens violence. I could not stoop to it.
The wrong is his, trying to negotiate By force ...
