</p> </div><i><b><a href="/wiki/Sophocles%27_King_Oedipus" title="Sophocles' King Oedipus">Sophocles' King Oedipus</a></b></i> (1928) is a modern English translation with music by the Irish poet and playwright <a href="/wiki/Author:William_Butler_Yeats" title="Author:William Butler Yeats">William Butler Yeats</a>, who says of his translation: "This version of <a href="/wiki/Author:Sophocles" title="Author:Sophocles">Sophocles'</a> play was written for Dublin players, for Dublin liturgical singers, for a small auditorium, for a chorus that must stand stock still where the orchestra are accustomed to put their chairs, for an audience where nobody comes for self-improvement or for anything but emotion. In other words, I put readers and scholars out of my mind and wrote to be sung and spoken." The Wikisource copy has players embedded for listening to the musical passages. <p>The Yeats translation formed the basis of the Canadian Stratford Festival production in 1956 under Tyrone Guthrie, who then directed a film adaptation released the following year. </p> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:William_Butler_Yeats_by_George_Charles_Beresford.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/William_Butler_Yeats_by_George_Charles_Beresford.jpg/80px-William_Butler_Yeats_by_George_Charles_Beresford.jpg" decoding="async" width="80" height="112" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/William_Butler_Yeats_by_George_Charles_Beresford.jpg/120px-William_Butler_Yeats_by_George_Charles_Beresford.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/William_Butler_Yeats_by_George_Charles_Beresford.jpg/160px-William_Butler_Yeats_by_George_Charles_Beresford.jpg 2x" data-file-width="643" data-file-height="900" /></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <div style="margin-left: 2em; font-size: 0.88em;"> <p><span style="font-variant:all-small-caps;">Oedipus</span>. Children, descendants of old Cadmus, why do you come before me, why do you carry the branches of suppliants, while the city smokes with incense and murmurs with prayer and lamentation? I would not learn from any mouth but yours, old man, therefore I question you myself. Do you know of anything that I can do and have not done? How can I, being the man I am, being King Oedipus, do other than all I know? I were indeed hard of heart did I not pity such suppliants. </p><p><span style="font-variant:all-small-caps;">Priest</span>. Oedipus, King of my country, you can see our ages who are before your door; some it may be too young for such a journey, and some too old, Priests of Zeus such as I, and these chosen young men; while the rest of the people crowd the market-places with their suppliant branches, for the city stumbles towards death, hardly able to raise up its head.
