Oedpius " You told me, yes but i was sick with fear". Sophocles (52)
Jocasta " There Didn't i tell you from the start?"
Oedpius " So you did i was lost in fear " (215) latest translation
The latest translation sounds very modern and different from Roche's translation . Roche's translation sounds like what the characters would actually say and actually sound vs the later translation sounds it was written so readers can understand it better. Also this dialogue between Jocasta and Oedpius i believe that Jocasta deeply knows thats her son but doesn't want to lay more problems against Oedpius because he already is confused and trying to save the city of thebes so the situation about his ' father ' dying was perfect timing for her to say " i told you so , don't worry ' she's trying to persuade him out of his worries .
