OEDIPUS
My pitiable children, what youâre asking
was fully known to me. That all of you
are ill I know, and yet not one of you 60
is ill to the same measure as am I.
Your pain affects you singly, one by one,
alone and no one further. But my soul
laments for Thebes, for you, and for myself.
Therefore you do not waken me from slumber: 65
know that I have been shedding many tears,
have turned down many a road in wandering thought.
The only cure Iâve found on long reflection
Iâve set in motion, sending my wifeâs brother,
Creon, Menoeceusâ son, to Phoebusâ shrine 70
in Delphi to enquire what deed, what word
will help me to procure the cityâs rescue.
Iâm anxious how heâs faring, for the days
are many since he left. Heâs been away
an unexpected, an unlooked-for time. 75
But when he comes, then count me as a traitor
if I do not do all the god reveals.
