Employing the noun ὀργὴν “passion,” Teiresias seems to fling back at Oidipous his verb ὀργάνειας (at 334: “you could infuriate”), when Oidipous claimed to be hard to anger. Teiresisas appears to be picking up Oidipous’s mention of passion as a pretext to underscore it in relation to Oidipous, who in fact has a very special relationship to it through his incestuous relations with his mother, to which Teiresias appears to be obliquely referring. If he is, then it is clear that Teiresias knows even more of the truth than the identity of Laios’ killer and that he has not expunged from his mind any of his knowledge, as he claimed moments ago at ll. 317-18. Teiresias seems to be signaling (though to whom?) that he is and has been fully aware of the incest, and so presumably also of the regicide and parricide, but has been choosing not to bring these matters up, either because he has not been asked or because it is not his place to do so.
