- All of the newborn babies, cattle, and crops are dying!
- Oh no! Priest, what's the matter?
- Of course, Creon is already looking into it. Though, he may prove untrustworthy.
- Just as I once did from the evil sphinx!
- Do not worry my children! I will save you from this plague! I can handle anything! (hubris)
- Flashback
- I'm so smart (hubris)
- Solve my riddle and I'll go. What has four legs at dawn, two at midday, and three in the evening?
- A human
- Ha! I banish you from Thebes at once!
- You're correct.
- Aww, now I have to leave!
- Back to Thebes, where Creon returns with news...
- Hey Creon! What did Apollo say?
- Creon is definitely trying to steal my throne! He took so long to come back.
- It's great to see you Oedipus!
- I will do everything I can to bring this unknown group of murderers to justice!
- If not, I shall pay the penalty.(dramatic irony)

- Episode 1
- Praying to the gods is all well and good, but you should trust me. (hubris) Might you know who the killer of Lauis is?
- Creon already urged me to get him. He should be here soon.
- No, I don't know. But Teiresias might.
- Please, we need deliversacne from the pollution of the killer.
- Teiresias, we were hoping you might know who Laius's killers are. So we can avenge his murder.
- You won't like the answer very much. I would rather not argue with you.
- I would rather not say.
- How dare you speak such lies?
- Fine Oedipus, you are the killer and the polluter of Thebes.
- Your speaking lies. What would you know anyway? You're blind.
- Oedipus, you refuse to accept the truth about yourself, so you are the true blind man.
- What I am saying is true. There is a prophecy that says you will mkill your dad, arry your mom and have kids with her.
- You must be working with Creon in his plan overthrow me as king.
- Hey, let's try to calm down and figure out what to do?
- I don't know what you mean.
- Don't make fun of me.
- Whether you want to believe it or not, you will carry out the prophecy.
- For a knowledgable person like yourself, I would assume you might understand.
- I want you to leave immediatly.
- I will go at your request., But remember what I said about the prophecy.
- Ode 1
- We wish that the gods would rival who Lauis's murderer is. it can't be Oedipjus! He saved us from the sphinx.
- Episode 2
- My dear audience, I have been told Oedipus has been spreading evil about me. I must find out why.
- Ah, he was probably just angry about something. Probably not ay you. He doesn't have any reason to be mad at you. If he was that would make him crazy.
- Creon you traitor! I know of your evil plan to take over the throne. You really thought Teiresias could fool me?
- Oedipus, what do you mean? I don't want the throne. even if I did I could have taken it years ago.
- You are a liar Creon! I know not that I can not trust you!
- You continue to lie to me. I want you banished from Thebes!
- Second, Being king is a lot of responsibility. People are always talking to you about their problems. Why would I want that?
- There is no reason for me to want the throne. I get so many bribes just by being associated with you. Not even from doing any work.
- I'll leave and let you cool off.
- Creon sent a prophet to lie and say that I killed Lauis!
- There's no way that can be true. Laius and my son was the one who was prophesized to kill him. We had him taken care of years ago.
- What's going on?
- Oh no! That could have been me!
- He was killed where Athena lane crosses with Diyonysus avenue. He was traveling byhimself.
- Don't worry about it. Te prophecy also said that pour son would marry his mom. If he's now dead, there's no way he can do any of those things.
- I'll look I not it just to be safe.
- No! I must.
- No! Please don't! Just stop looking!
- Ode 2
- Oedipus needs to face reality. Fate will find him either way.
