Tiresias and Oedipus get into an argument because of the Prophecy that Oedipus isn't standing to believe. |
|
 | Dear Gods! Must I listen to this thing? Look it dawdless! Wants to wallow in perdition! Does not turn in panic from my home! |  |
|
 | You called me here. I never would have come. |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | Nor I have ever summoned you if I'd known you'd go foaming at the mouth. |  |
|
 | A born fool of course to you am I, and yet to parents you were born from, wise. I'll take my leave, then. Your hand, boy-- home. |  |
|

Oedipus ask if Tiresias would leave his sight because Oedipus thought he was being dis-honest. |
|
 | Yes, take him home. Good riddance too! You're nothing but a nuisance heere, and one I can do without. |  |
|
 | Youll not be rid of me until I've spoken what I came to say. You do not frighten me. I tell you this : the man you've searched for all along with threats and fanfares for the murder of King Laius, That men i say is here: His children father and assassin. Ponder this and go inside, And when you think you've caught me at a lie, then come and tell me I'm not fit to prophesy. |  |
