Then I think this city no longer exists.
Creon
For men who are just, you see, the weak vanquishes the strong.
Oedipus
Do you hear his words?
Chorus
Yes, but he will not achieve them.
Creon
Zeus knows perhaps, but you do not.
Chorus
This is an outrage!
Creon
An outrage which you must bear.
Chorus
Hear people, hear rulers of the land! Come quickly, come!
These men are on their way to cross our borders!
Enter Theseus.
Theseus
What is this shout? What is the trouble? What fear has moved you to stop my sacrifice at the altar to the sea-god, the lord of your Colonus? Speak, so that I may know the situation; for that is why I have sped
here more swiftly than was pleasant.
