Oedipus: Sprang from the wife and mother's travail-pain.

Chorus: (Str. 2)
What, then thy offspring are at once--

Oedipus: Too true.
Their father's very sister's too.

Chorus: Oh horror!

Oedipus: Horrors from the boundless deep
Back on my soul in refluent surges sweep.

Chorus: Thou hast endured--

Oedipus: Intolerable woe.
