"Like seabirds winging west, outracing the day's fire
down the horizon, irresistibly
Streaking on the shores of evening
Death
So many deaths, numberless deaths on deaths, no end-"
I found that description to be really deep and while reading it I was able to visualize everything.
Oedipus knows exactly what he has to do to save his town and knows that praying to the gods wont help which is why he says,
"You pray to the gods? Let me grant your prayers."
He then tells them about the killer that they have to find and tells them to banish him.
"Drive him out, each of you, from every home.
He is the plague, the heart of our corruption-"
