460 B.C.When Phrasicleides was archon in Athens, the Eightieth Olympiad was celebrated, that in which
Toryllas the Thessalian won the "stadion"; and the Romans elected as consuls Quintus Fabius and
Titus Quinctius Capitolinus. During this year, in Asia
the Persian generals who had passed over to Cilicia
made ready three hundred ships, which they fitted out fully for warfare, and then with their
land force they advanced overland through Syria and
Phoenicia; and with the fleet accompanying the army
along the coast, they arrived at Memphis in Egypt. At the outset they broke
the siege of the White Fortress, having struck the Egyptians and the Athenians with terror; but
later on, adopting a prudent course, they avoided any frontal encounters and strove to bring
the war to an end by the use of stratagems. Accordingly, since the Attic ships lay moored at
the island known as Prosopitis, they diverted by means of canals the river which fl

Before the royal palace of Thebes. Jocasta enters from the palace alone.
Jocasta
O Sun-god, you who cut your path in heaven's stars, mounted on a chariot inlaid with gold and whirling out your flame with swift horses, what an unfortunate beam you shed on Thebes, the day that Cadmus left Phoenicia's realm beside the sea and reached this land! He married at that time Harmonia, the daughter of Cypris, and begot Polydorus from whom they say Labdacus was born, and Laius from him. I am known as the daughter of Menoeceus, and Creon is my brother by the same mother. They call me Jocasta, for so my father named me, and I am married to Laius. Now when he was still childless after being married to me a long time in the palace, he went and questioned Phoebus, and asked for us both to have sons for the house. But the god said: “Lord of Thebes famous for horses, do not sow a furrow of children against the will of the gods; for if you beget a son, that child will kill you, and all your house s

Chorus
From the Tyrian swell of the sea I came, a choice offering for Loxias from the island of Phoenicia, to be a slave to Phoebus in his halls, where he dwells under the snow-swept peaks of Parnassus; through the Ionian sea I sailed in the waves, over the unharvested plains, in the gusts of Zephyrus that ride from Sicily, sweetest music in the sky.

Chorus
But now I find the impetuous god of war has come to battle before the walls, and is kindling a murderous blaze—may he not succeed!—for this city. For a friend's pain is shared, and if this land with its seven towers suffers any mischance, Phoenicia's realm will share it. Ah me! our blood is one; we are all children of Io, the horned maid; these sorrows I claim as m
