quid refert? habet ecce suos Iocasta ducesque regnantesque videt: nos saeva piacula bello demus, ut alterni (placet hoc tibi, fulminis auctor?) Oedipodionii mutent diademata fratres? quid superos hominesve queror? tu, saeve Menoeceu, tu miseram ante omnes properasti exstinguere matrem.
What odds? See, Jocasta has her children and beholds them captains and kings. Am I to give cruel offerings to the war, so that the brothers, the sons of Oedipus (is this your pleasure, author of the thunderbolt?), may take turns with diadems? Why do I complain of gods and men? Twas you, cruel Menoeceus, you, that hastened before all the rest to kill your unhappy mother.
