"O dear Oedipus, you [all] have come forth desiring things which are intimate and not unknown to me. For well I know that you are all ill; and, being ill, it is not possible that anyone of you is as sick as I am. For your pain comes upon each one of you alone and to no other; but my spirit grieves for the city and me and you alike."2
