Temperance was.. mostly not surprised to find the man drunk.  Without drawing any weapons, she instead folds her arms and gives the man a careful once over, “Pfft.  What is this, Steroid?  You look a mess.  Like a rat chewed its way through a pigs stomach.”  Her nicest way of saying he looks pretty shitty.

Before that line, scholars have described him as: “Cool and at his ease, ready-witted and concerned for the morale of his people” And “He is, in sum, the ideal leader for the polis”

Things that Eteocles does before line 653: Bizarrely invoke a *curse* to defend his city. Storm on stage and start yelling at the chorus Make demands of them that are borderline blasphemous Tells them how much he hates them because they’re women. Threatens to kill them. Threatens to kill anyone who doesn't do what he says. Accuse the chorus of young girls of failing as leaders of the city. Decide to abandon his tactical duties as a general and leader so he can join in the killy-killy stabby-stabby personally.
