OEDIPUS
I wish I could say you acted wisely.
You would have been better off dead than blind.
There was no better way than mine.
No more advice! If I had eyes, how could
they bear to look at my father in Hades?
Or at my devastated mother? Not even
hanging could right the wrongs I did them both.
You think I’d find the sight of my children

Can I say anything he’ll listen to?
Why would he believe me?
I wronged him so deeply.
I proved myself so false to him.

Don’t take them from me.
Give up your power, too.
You won the power once, but
you couldn’t
keep it to the end of your life.
(KREON leads OEDIPUS into the palace.)
Thebans, that man is the same Oedipus
whose great mind solved the famous riddle.
He was a most powerful man.
Which of us seeing his glory, his prestige,
did not wish his luck could be ours?
Now look at what wreckage the seas
of savage trouble have made of his life.
To know the truth of a man, wait

till you see his life end.
