first of all�察�how true and constant was your reverence for the royal

power of Laius�察�how�察�again�察�when Oedipus was ruler of our land�察�and

when he had perished�察�your steadfast loyalty still upheld their

children。 Since�察�then�察�his sons have fallen in one day by a twofold

doom�察�each smitten by the other�察�each stained with a brother's

blood�察�I now possess the throne and all its powers�察�by nearness of

kinship to the dead。

    No man can be fully known�察�in soul and spirit and mind�察�until he

hath been seen versed in rule and law´giving。 For if any�察�being

supreme guide of the State�察�cleaves not to the best counsels�察�but��

through some fear�察�keeps his lips locked�察�I hold�察�and have ever

held�察�him most base�察�and if any makes a friend of more account than

his fatherland�察�that man hath no place in my regard。 For I´be Zeus

my witness�察�who sees all things always´would not be silent if I saw

ruin�察�instead of safety�察�coming to the citizens�察�nor would I ever deem

the country's foe a friend to myself�察�remembering this�察�that our

country is the ship that bears us safe�察�and that only while she

prospers in our voyage can we make true friends。

    Such are the rules by which I guard this city's greatness。 And

in accord with them is the edict which I have now published to the

folk touching the sons of Oedipus�察�that Eteocles�察�who hath fallen

fighting for our city�察�in all renown of arms�察�shall be entombed�察�and

crowned with every rite that follows the noblest dead to their rest。

But for his brother�察�Polyneices�察�who came back from exile�察�and

sought to consume utterly with fire the city of his fathers and the

shrines of his fathers' gods�察�sought to taste of kindred blood�察�and to

lead the remnant into slavery�察�touching this man�察�it hath been

proclaimed to our people that none shall grace him with sepulture or

lament�察�but leave him unburied�察�a corpse for birds and dogs to eat��

a ghastly sight of shame。

    Such the spirit of my dealing�察�and never�察�by deed of mine�察�shall

the wicked stand in honour before the just�察�but whoso hath good will

to Thebes�察�he shall be honoured of me�察�in his life and in his death。

  LEADER OF THE CHORUS

    Such is thy pleasure�察�Creon�察�son of Menoeceus�察�touching this


city's foe�察�and its friend�察�and thou hast power�察�I ween�察�to take

what order thou wilt�察�both for the dead�察�and for all us who live。

  CREON

    See�察�then�察�that ye be guardians of the mandate。

  LEADER

    Lay the burden of this task on some younger man。

  CREON

    Nay�察�watchers of the corpse have been found。

  LEADER

    What�察�then�察�is this further charge that thou wouldst give��

  CREON

    That ye side not with the breakers of these commands。

  LEADER

    No man is so foolish that he is enamoured of death。

  CREON

    In sooth�察�that is the meed�察�yet lucre hath oft ruined men

through their hopes。

                          ��A GUARD enters from the spectators' left。��

  GUARD

    My liege�察�I will not say that I come breathless from speed�察�or

that have plied a nimble foot�察�for often did my thoughts make me

pause�察�and wheel round in my path�察�to return。 My mind was holding

large discourse with me�察�'Fool�察�why goest thou to thy certain doom��'

'Wretch�察�tarrying again�拭�And if Creon hears this from another�察�must

not thou smart for it��' So debating�察�I went on my way with lagging

steps�察�and thus a short road was made long。 At last�察�however�察�it

carried the day that I should come hither´to thee�察�and�察�though my tale

be nought�察�yet will I tell it�察�for I come with a good grip on one

hope�察�that I can suffer nothing but what is my fate。

  CREON

    And what is it that disquiets thee thus��

  GUARD

    I wish to tell thee first about myself´I did not do the deed´I did

not see the doer´it were not right that I should come to any harm。

  CREON

    Thou hast a shrewd eye for thy mark�察�well dost thou fence

thyself round against the blame�察�clearly thou hast some strange

thing to tell。

  GUARD

    Aye�察�truly�察�dread news makes one pause long。

  CREON

    Then tell it�察�wilt thou�察�and so get thee gone��

  GUARD

    Well�察�this is it。´The corpse´some one hath just given it burial��

and gone away�察�after sprinkling thirsty dust on the flesh�察�with such

other rites as piety enjoins。

  CREON

    What sayest thou�拭�What living man hath dared this deed��

  GUARD

    I know not�察�no stroke of pickaxe was seen there�察�no earth thrown

up by mattock�察�the ground was hard and dry�察�unbroken�察�without track of

wheels�察�the doer was one who had left no trace。 And when the first

day´watchman showed it to us�察�sore wonder fell on all。 The dead man

was veiled from us�察�not shut within a tomb�察�but lightly strewn with

dust�察�as by the hand of one who shunned a curse。 And no sign met the

eye as though any beast of prey or any dog had come nigh to him�察�or

torn him。

    Then evil words flew fast and loud among us�察�guard accusing guard��

und it would e'en have come to blows at last�察�nor was there any to

hinder。 Every man was the culprit�察�and no one was convicted�察�but all

disclaimed knowledge of the deed。 And we were ready to take red´hot

iron in our hands�察�to walk through fire�察�to make oath by the gods that

we had not done the deed�察�that we were not privy to the planning or

the doing。

    At last�察�when all our searching was fruitless�察�one spake�察�who made

us all bend our faces on the earth in fear�察�for we saw not how we

could gainsay him�察�or escape mischance if we obeyed。 His counsel was

that this deed must be reported to thee�察�and not hidden。 And this

seemed best�察�and the lot doomed my hapless self to win this prize。

So here I stand�察�as unwelcome as unwilling�察�well I wot�察�for no man

delights in the bearer of bad news。

  LEADER

    O king�察�my thoughts have long been whispering�察�can this deed��

perchance�察�be e'en the work of gods��

  CREON

    Cease�察�ere thy words fill me utterly with wrath�察�lest thou be

found at once an old man and foolish。 For thou sayest what is not to

be borne�察�in saying that the gods have care for this corpse。 Was it

for high reward of trusty service that they sought to hide his

nakedness�察�who came to burn their pillared shrines and sacred

treasures�察�to burn their land�察�and scatter its laws to the winds�拭�Or

dost thou behold the gods honouring the wicked�拭�It cannot be。 No� �From

the first there were certain in the town that muttered against me��

chafing at this edict�察�wagging their heads in secret�察�and kept not

their necks duly under the yoke�察�like men contented with my sway。

    'Tis by them�察�well I know�察�that these have been beguiled and

bribed to do this deed。 Nothing so evil as money ever grew to be

current among men。 This lays cities low�察�this drives men from their

homes�察�this trains and warps honest souls till they set themselves

to works of shame�察�this still teaches folk to practise villainies�察�and

to know every godless deed。

    But all the men who wrought this thing for hire have made it

sure that�察�soon or late�察�they shall pay the price。 Now�察�as Zeus

still hath my reverence�察�know this´I tell it thee on my oath�此�If ye

find not the very author of this burial�察�and produce him before mine

eyes�察�death alone shall not be enough for you�察�till first�察�hung up

alive�察�ye have revealed this outrage�察�that henceforth ye may thieve

with better knowledge whence lucre should be won�察�and learn that it is

not well to love gain from every source。 For thou wilt find that

ill´gotten pelf brings more men to ruin than to weal。

  GUARD

    May I speak�拭�Or shall I just turn and go��

  CREON

    Knowest thou not that even now thy voice offends��

  GUARD

    Is thy smart in the ears�察�or in the soul��

  CREON

    And why wouldst thou define the seat of my pain��

  GUARD

    The doer vexes thy mind�察�but I�察�thine ears。

  CREON

    Ah�察�thou art a born babbler�察�'tis well seen。

  GUARD

    May be�察�but never the doer of this deed。

  CREON

    Yea�察�and more�察�the seller of thy life for silver。

  GUARD

    Alas� �'Tis sad�察�truly�察�that he who judges should misjudge。

  CREON

    Let thy fancy play with 'judgment' as it will�察�but�察�if ye show

me not the doers of these things�察�ye shall avow that dastardly gains

work sorrows。

                                        ��CREON goes into the palace。��

  GUARD

    Well�察�may he be found� �so 'twere best。 But�察�be he caught or be

he not´fortune must settle that´truly thou wilt not see me here again。

Saved�察�even now�察�beyond hope and thought�察�I owe the gods great thanks。

                        ��The GUARD goes out on the spectators' left。��

  CHORUS ��singing��



                                                            strophe 1



    Wonders are many�察�and none is more wonderful than man�察�the power

that crosses the white sea�察�driven by the stormy south´wind�察�making

a path under surges that threaten to engulf him�察�and Earth�察�the eldest

of the gods�察�the immortal�察�the unwearied�察�doth he wear�察�turning the

soil with the offspring of horses�察�as the ploughs go to and fro from

year to year。

beasts�察�and the sea´brood of the deep�察�he snares in the meshes of

his woven toils�察�he leads captive�察�man excellent in wit。 And he

masters by his arts the beast whose lair is in the wilds�察�who roams

the hills�察�he tames the horse of shaggy mane�察�he puts the yoke upon

its neck�察�he tames the tireless mountain bull。



                                                            strophe 2
