paying no small recompense to this land and to me. In reverence for these claims, I will never spurn his favor, and I will establish a dwelling for him as a citizen in the land. And if it is the pleasure of the stranger to remain here, I will command you to
protect him; or, if it pleases him, to come with me. This choice or that, Oedipus, you may take; your desire will be mine.
642
Oedipus
O Zeus, may you be good to men such as these!
Theseus
What is your wish, then? Will you come to my house?
Oedipus
Yes, I would, if it were right. But this is the place—
Theseus
What will you do here? Speak, for I will not hinder you.
Oedipus
—Where I will conquer those who cast me out.
Theseus
The promised gift of your presence would be great.
Oedipus
It shall be, if you keep your pledge with me.
Theseus
Have courage concerning me; never will I betray you.
Oedipus
I will not bind you with an oath as if an evil man.
