Who drinks from his sickening cup
Recklessness and vanity,
Until from his high crest headlong
He plummets to the dust of hope.
-Sophocles, Oedipus Rex, line 872

Quote of the Week: Sophocles on Tyrants
Who drinks from his sickening cup
Recklessness and vanity,
Until from his high crest headlong
He plummets to the dust of hope.
-Sophocles, Oedipus Rex, line 872
