Sophocles, Oedipus The King, 337-343


nanYou blame my anger, but do not perceive your own: no, you blame me. Oedipu


nanYou blame my anger, but do not perceive your own: no, you blame me. Oedipu


nanWho would not be angry hearing such words


nanOIDIPUS:What then, thou knowest, and yet willst not speak! Wouldst thou betray us and destroy the State? TEIRESIAS: I will not vex myself nor thee. Why ask Thus idly what from me thou shalt not learn? OIDIPUS:Monster! thy silence would incense a flint. Will nothing loose thy tongue? Can nothing melt thee, Or shake thy dogged taciturnity? TEIRESIAS: Thou blam'st my mood and seest not thine own Wherewith thou art mated; no, thou taxest me. OIDIPUS:And who could stay his choler when he heard How insolently thou dost flout the State? TEIRESIAS: Well, it will come what will, though I be mute. OIDIPUS:Since come it must, thy duty is to tell me. TEIRESIAS: I have no more to say; storm as thou willst, And give the rein to all thy pent-up rage. OIDIPUS:Yea, I am wroth, and will not stint my words, But speak my whole mind. Thou methinks thou art he, Who planned the crime, aye, and performed it too, All save the assassination; and if thou Hadst not been blind, I had been sworn to boot


nanwith which you now are slighting the city? Teiresia


nanThe future will come of itself, though I shroud it in silence. Oedipu


nanSince it must come anyway, it is right that you tell it to me. Teiresia


nanI will speak no further: rage, if you wish, with the fiercest wrath your heart knows. Oedipu

When he had thus spoken he sat down, and among them arose Calchas son of Thestor, far the best of bird-diviners, who knew the things that were, and that were to be, and that had been before 1.106. / Prophet of evil, never yet have you spoken to me a pleasant thing; ever is evil dear to your heart to prophesy, but a word of good you have never yet spoken, nor brought to pass. And now among the Danaans you claim in prophecy that for this reason the god who strikes from afar brings woes upon them 1.122. /In answer to him spoke swift-footed brilliant Achilles:Most glorious son of Atreus, most covetous of all, how shall the great-hearted Achaeans give you a prize? We know nothing of a hoard of wealth in common store, but whatever we took by pillage from the cities has been apportioned
