Oedipus
Text z Príbehu
- I have already sent Creon to bring Tiresias here. He should be back soon.
- Maybe you should find Tiresias. He will know who killed Laius.
- Tiresias, tell me who the killer is!
- No, I can't.
- What?! Will you betray me and my city?
- How dare you accuse me like this! You are a liar!
- Fine, I will tell you. The killer is you!
- You must be conspiring with Creon to overthrow me!
- Leave now!
- No I am not.
- Creon! You traitor!
- I don't believe you! I want you to die!
- Listen! I don't want to be king so why would I betray you?
- Fine, Creon can leave.
- Stop arguing!
- Listen, you don't need to worry about the prophecy.
- So prophecies aren't true!
- Our son is dead and Laius was killed by a group of robbers where three roads meet.
- I may have put myself under a curse!
- Wait. Three roads? Oh no!
- What?
- Was Laius traveling in a group?
- I need you to bring him back!
- Is the slave in Thebes?
- No, he asked to be sent away.
- Yes, he was. An escaped slave told me.
- In Corinth, a drunk man told me that I am not my parents' real son.
- I was troubled and went to Delphi. Apollo told me that I would kill my father and marry my mother.
- So I ran away from Corinth!
- What worries you?
- If that man is Laius, I would have to go into exile and never see my people again!
- They tried to force me off the road!
- When I was travelling, I met a man in a carriage, just as you described.
- In rage, I lashed out and the old man struck me in the head. I hit him back and killed them all.
- Still, bring the slave here.
- I do have some hope though. I will wait to hear what the slave says.
- If he says that there were several men, then I am not the killer.
- Well that's what he said before.
- What do you hope to hear?
- I will.
- Do you know this man over here?
- Are you the slave who worked for Laius?
- No, I do not.
- Yes, I worked as a shepherd in Cithaeron.
- Remember when I was with you in Cithaeron? I had one flock of sheep and you had two.
- You gave me a child to raise as my own.
- Yes, I did. Why do you ask?
- Oh, I remember!
- This man here is that child!
- Be quiet! Don't say that!
- If you don't tell me, I will torture you!
- You didn't tell me about a child!
- If I speak, I will die!
- He's lying!
- Who?!
- Where did you get the child?
- If you don't speak, you will die!
- I got it from someone...
- Laius' wife gave it to me!
- Why?
- She wanted me to kill it!
- It was Laius' child!
- So that wretched woman was the mother?
- What prophecy?
- It was said that the child would kill his father.
- Yes, she was afraid of a prophecy.
- If that's true, why didn't you kill the boy?
- It's so clear now. I am a man cursed by birth!
- I pitied the child! I gave it to the servant because I thought he would take the child to a foreign land!
- Oedipus's tragic downfall was caused by his hubris. He is arrogant and did not believe the prophecy.
