Oedipus and Creon

King Oedipus accused his brother-in-law Creon of being a traitor in league with a false prophet. The old men of the chorus couldn't believe that such putrefaction lay hidden somewhere in their city, but then the words had been spoken by a prophet, hadn't they? As Creon fumed, Oedipu came out through the palace doors again and demanded to know how Creon dared to even come near him.
