Foolish man, anger amidst woes is not suitable.
Oedipus
When you have heard my story, admonish; till then, forbear.
Theseus
Speak. I must not pronounce without knowledge.
Oedipus
I have suffered, Theseus, terrible woes upon woes.
Theseus
Will you speak of the ancient trouble of your race?
Oedipus
No, indeed; all Greeks speak of that.
Theseus
How, then, do you suffer beyond what is mortal?
Oedipus
The circumstance is this: from my country I have been driven by my own sons;
and I may not return, since I am guilty of a fathers blood.
Theseus
Why would they have you brought back, if you must dwell apart?
Oedipus
The word of the god will compel them.
