[let_fate_decide]

I saw Oedeipus' mother, beautiful Epicaste,
Who unwittingly did a monstrous deed,
Marrying her son, who had killed his father.
The gods soon brought these things to light;
Yet, for all his misery, Oedipus still ruled
In lovely Thebes, by the gods' dark designs.
But Epicaste, overcome by her grief,
Hung a deadly noose from the ceiling rafters
And went down to implacable Hades' realm,
Leaving behind for her son all of the sorrows
A mother's avenging spirits can cause.

Oh, Oedipus...
