mox reducem Ogygiae congressus limine portae Oedipodem extimuit paulum, seseque minorem confessus tacite, promptamque coercuit iram; sed redit in regem caecumque audentius hostem increpitans, procul, inquit, abi, victoribus omen invisum, et Furias averte ac moenia lustra discessu Thebana tuo.
Presently at the threshold of the Ogygian gate he encountered Oedipus returning. Briefly he quailed, silently confessing himself the lesser, and checked his ready anger. But soon he is the king again and boldly chides his sightless enemy. Get you far, he says, hateful omen to victors. Turn away your Furies and purge the walls of Thebes by your departure.
