Oedipus rex (opera)
Explain the Chorus’s final message in your own words.
CHORUS
All you who live in Thebes, Look here on Oedipus!
After he solved the famous riddle, He became the most powerful of men!
Every citizen looked upon him with envy. See what a fierce storm of disaster Has swept him away! You who are born to die, Look to your last day.
Call no one happy,
Until that person has ended life
Free from sorrow.
