Discussion 2

This passage I chose by chorus in line  1370-1375 the  chorus is saying what man On earth have a lot of happiness and basically leaves it and says that Oedipus is a example of that and he envy’s not at all he seems disgusted of Oedipus or ashamed. The chorus is speaking about the irony of how successful and happy he was and now he is a bad that he don’t envy and clearly don’t look up to .

O generations of men, how i
1370 count you as equal with those who live not at all!
What man, What man on earth wins more of happiness than a seeming
and after that turning away?
1375 Oedipus, you are my pattern of this, Oedipus, you and your fate!
Luckless Oedipus, whom of all men
I envy not at all.
