- Chorus, behind the scene, convincing King Oedipus to free the good man Creon.
- Gentlemen, what is happening here?
- Now, now free yourself from these things, I shall tell you a quick tale. A prophecy came to Laius, that death would come to him from his child, news broke that some foreign brigands slew him where the three wagon-roads meet. Yet 3 days had not past from the birth of my child, when a man binds his ankles together and sent another man into the wild of the mountains. And so Apollo brought about neither that he slay his father nor that Laius suffer the terrible things he feared from his child.
- By the Gods, tell me, what is it that troubles you my lord?
- Hearing you just now, my lady, how my soul wanders, HOW MY MIND SHAKES ME!

- Meeting with the Shepherd.
- Because she gave it to you?
- To what end?
- Did you give him the child he mentions?
