The scene is laid in front of the palace in Boetian Thebes. The chorus
is composed of Theban old men. Oedipus speaks first. The managers
request all the spectators to remain sitting until the postlude is
ended. Immediately after the last chorus has been sung there will be a
pause for those who wish to go out. After this the doors will be
closed.
After the play, horse-cars ({hamaxai hipposidêrodromikai}) will be
ready for those who want to go to the city.
