The only fragment definitively assigned to ''Oedipus'' is a line translated by [[Herbert Weir Smyth]] as "We were coming on our journey to the place from which three highways part in the branching roads, where we crossed the junction of the triple roads at [[Potniae]]."<ref name=smyth>{{cite book|title=Aeschylus: Agamemnon, Libation-Bearers, Eumenides, Fragments|author=Smyth, H.W.|author-link=Herbert Weir Smyth|pages=437–438|year=1930|publisher=Harvard University Press|isbn=0-674-99161-3}}</ref>  The only two fragments definitively assigned to ''The Sphinx'' were translated by Smyth as "For the stranger a garland, an ancient crown, the best of bonds, as [[Prometheus]] said," and "The Sphinx, the Watch-dog that presideth over evil days."<ref>{{cite book|title=Aeschylus: Agamemnon, Libation-Bearers, Eumenides, Fragments|author=Smyth, H.W.|author-link=Herbert Weir Smyth|pages=460–461|year=1930|publisher=Harvard University Press|isbn=0-674-99161-3}}</ref>
