Oedipus the King - Sophocles
Antistrophe
No longer to the holy place,
to the navel of earth I'll go
to worship, not to Abae
not to Olympia,
1025 unless the oracles are proved to fit,
for all men's hands to point at.
O Zeus, if you are rightly called
the sovereign lord, all mastering,
let this not escape you nor your ever-living power!
1030 The oracles concerning Laius
are old and dim and men regard them not.
Apollo is nowhere clear in honor; God's service perishes.
