Note 7 — OEDIPUS AT COLONUS
Francis Storr translation
6 (return) [ Creon desires to bury Oedipus on the confines of Thebes so as to avoid the pollution and yet offer due rites at his tomb. Ismene tells him of the latest oracle and interprets to him its purport, that some day the Theban invaders of Athens will be routed in a battle near the grave of Oedipus.]
7 (return) [ The Thebans sprung from the Dragon’s teeth sown by Cadmus.]
