Explain what the Chorus is saying in this passage: The skilled prophet scans the birds and shatters me with terror! I can't accept him, can't deny
him, don't know what to say, I'm lost, and the wings of dark foreboding
beating- I cannot see what's come, what's still to come... and what
could breed a blood feud between Laius' house and the son of Polybus? |
know of nothing, not in the past and not now, no charge to bring against
our king, no cause to attack his fame that rings throughout Thebes-- not
without proof-not for the ghost of Laius, not to avenge a murder gone
without a trace. *
