If you wanted the child to live, why did you cast him out?
-
You think I could do such a thing?
-
I carried him, I gave birth to him, I cared for him.
-
If not you, then...
-
The King. King Laius cast him out.
-
- And to my shame, I helped him. - Why?
-
When the boy was born, the King took him to the Oracle.
-
There he learned his dreadful fate.
-
If he lived...
-
..He would kill his father.
-
The King then felt he had no choice but to sacrifice him.
-
He belongs with you.
