Second Messenger: O you most honoured citizens of Thebes,
what actions you will hear about and see,
what sorrows you will bear, if, as natives here,
you are still loyal to the house of Labdacus!
I do not think the Ister or the Phasis rivers could cleanse this house. It conceals too much
and soon will bring to light the vilest things, brought on by choice and not by accident.
What we do to ourselves brings us most pain.

What is the main idea of the previous excerpt from Oedipus Rex?
The house of Labdacus is forever ruined.
This is a very sorrowful story.
