Each of us has been wrong. The accident of my birth was not my doing. My service to Oedipus my one true duty. The burial acts for my brothers correct before the gods. Yes, you are in the right in all things.
Death is stronger than life, and infinitely more correct.
I beg the gods below to judge me leniently as one who bent to force. Oedipus faced the nether world with eyes wide open. Your stiff-necked will, as vain as any brother. You're beyond all becoming with these acts. So like Jocasta.
