Oedipus King Of Thebes – Sophocles – Gece Kitaplığı

That, while in Thebes I bear the diadem,No man shall greet, no man shall shelter them,Nor give them water in their thirst, nor shareIn sacrifice nor shrift nor dying prayer,But thrust them from our doors, the thing they hideBeing this land's curse. Thus hath the God repliedThis day to me from Delphi, and my swordI draw thus for the dead and for God's word.
