Extract

Oedipus at Colonus is the story of the last day in the life of Oedipus. After many year of wandering, Oedipus arrives in a grove outside Athens and understands that this is the place he would die. Theseus, king of Athens and its surroundings, promises to give Oedipus the right to be buried in Colonus and to protect his secret burial place. More than that, Theseus brings back Oedipus' daughters who were abducted by Creon. Oedipus apologizes for not thanking Theseus right away, instead of talking to his daughters. Theseus understands that Oedipus needs the time to talk with his saved daughters, and refrains from bragging about his struggle with Creon, but he asks Oedipus to do "a trivial thing" and meet someone who looks desperate to meet him.
Oedipus:
What is his country? What is he praying for?
