Neither the besiegers nor the besieged could gain any real advantage and finally both sides agreed to let the matter be decided by a combat between the brothers. If Eteocles was the victor, the Argive Army would withdraw; If Eteocles was conquered, Polyneices should be king. Neither was victor; they killed each other. Eteocles dying looked upon his brother and wept; he had no strength to speak. Polyneices could murmur a few words: "My brother, my enemy, but loved, always loved. Bury me in my homeland-to have so much at least of my city." Which actions best support the theme that lust for power is stronger than family ties? Select two options. The brothers fight each other for the throne. Both brothers die trying to gain power. Eteocles weeps when he kills Polyneices. Polyneices wants to be buried in Thebes. Polyneices professes his love for Eteocles.
