The Chorus’s speech has a double meaning: in keeping with what appears now to be the divine plan to reveal Oidipous’s terrible misdeeds to all mankind, Oidipous is the one whose speech and actions will convict Laios’ killer. The god is presently speaking through the unwitting Chorus to realize his project of leading a partially paralyzed Oidipous to discover the harm he has done. [Gd] [Apcmu] [Mp] [Mw]
