When the staffperson mentions ὄλβος δικαίως, the audience will hear in this phrase the distinction between wealth justly and unjustly obtained. Just as it now knows to be skeptical of the finding that Oidipous was ever happy because he was always acting in discord with the gods’ attempts to guide his actions towards justice and necessity, the audience will now give thought to the advisability of identifying its own happiness with wealth obtained through extortion, especially as this affronts Apollo’s assurance to Sparta of his help in defeating Athens.
