Sophocles, Oedipus The King, 1177-1181


nanWhy, then, did you give him to this old man? Servant


nanOut of pity, master, thinking that he would carry him to another land, from where he himself came. But he saved him for the direst woe.


nanOut of pity, master, thinking that he would carry him to another land, from where he himself came. But he saved him for the direst woe.


nanOIDIPUS: Ah me! ah me! all brought to pass, all true! O light, may I behold thee nevermore! I stand a wretch, in birth, in wedlock cursed, A parricide, incestuously, triply cursed! [Exit OEDIPUS] CHORUS: Races of mortal man Whose life is but a span, I count ye but the shadow of a shade! For he who most doth know Of bliss, hath but the show; A moment, and the visions pale and fade. Thy fall, O Oidipus, thy piteous fall Warns me none born of women blest to call. For he of marksmen best, O Zeus, outshot the rest, And won the prize supreme of wealth and power. By him the vulture maid Was quelled, her witchery laid; He rose our savior and the land's strong tower. We hailed thee king and from that day adored


nanFor if you are what this man says, be certain that you were born ill-fated. Oedipu
