The Prince did nothing in all that happened on that fatal field," Theba recounted with flushed face, as if it were her duty to justify his action, "that was not worthy his generous nature and kingly lineage." "How did it happen, my love, a thing so unusual, that you were with the Theban forces on the field?" "I viewed the battle from an eminence near at hand, and at last when our army gave way before the Prince's onslaught I contrived to reach my father, hoping to prevail upon him to give over ...the hopeless struggle, but all too late." "And you?" "I fell by his side, wounded from a thrust of a lance that pierced my crown," Theba explained, displaying a deep scar hidden by her abundant hair.

"Thus I lay, I know not how long, until at last opening my eyes I saw, as in a vision vouchsafed by the gentle gods, a comely youth with pitying eyes, clad in armour, bending over me, his long and flaxen hair falling on my face," Theba murmured, as if recalling a dream of Paradise.
