And what is the pledge that you would like to have firm in your mind?
Oedipus
In return for his benefits,
I would grant him the fulfillment of the favor that I promised.
1491
Chorus
Hurry, my son, come to us! If you chance to be in the glade sacrificing an ox to the sea-god Poseidon,
then come! For the stranger thinks you worthy, you and your city and your friends, to receive just return for benefits. Hasten quickly, lord!
1500
Enter Theseus.
Theseus
What din is this that once more rings forth from you all, from my people as clearly as from the stranger? Can a thunderbolt from Zeus be the cause, or rushing hail in its fierce onset? When the god sends such a storm, forebodings of every sort may find a place.
Oedipus
Lord, you have appeared at my desire, and to you some god granted noble fortune at this coming.
Theseus
And what new thing has now occurred, son of Laius?
Oedipus
My life hangs in the balance; and I wish to die without cheating you and this city of the promises I made.
Theseus
And what is the proof of your fate that you depend on?
Oedipus
The gods themselves herald the news to me, nor do they cheat me of any of the appointed signs.
