Teiresias: I will not wound myself nor thee. Why seek
To trap and question me? I will not speak.
ἐγὼ οὔτ᾿ ἐμαυτὸν οὔτε σ᾿ ἀλγυνῶ. τί ταῦτ᾿
ἄλλως ἐλέγχεις; οὐ γὰρ ἂν πύθοιό μου.
ἄλλως ἐλέγχεις; οὐ γὰρ ἂν πύθοιό μου.

Nay, I see that thou, on thy part, openest not thy lips in season: therefore I speak not, that neither may I have thy mishap.
(tr. R. C. Jebb, 1893) | I will never reveal my dreadful secrets, or rather, yours. (tr. Bernard M. W. Knox, 1959)
