malus_pumila 's review for:

Oedipus the King: Sophocles by Sophocles

---

"But now, since I chance to hold the power which once [Laius] held, and to have a marriage and a wife in common with him, and since had he not been unfortunate in respect of issue our children would have had one mother—but as things are he has been struck down by fortune; on account of this I shall fight for him as though he had been my father, and shall go to every length in searching for the author of the murder done upon the son of Labdacus"

i swear i could strangle sophocles for writing these lines
