| There has always been controversy surrounding how to translate and in what order to translate the numbers in the riddle. Sophocles wrote the numbers using the nominative/accusative case; and thus it was difficult to put together the riddle in an accurate way even for the interpreter. It was at the interpreter's discretion as to how to organize ( as it is in most cases with interpreting ancient Greek poetry ) the text. Thus there are not only two ways to interpret the riddle, but many more. As an example, I translated the entirety of Antigone from ancient Greek to English and it required similar vigor to organize and interpret Sophocles' language. His linguistic style is littered with riddles, plus the ancient Greek language is a riddle in that of itself. |

You look for it with a website called google (or bing if you're some kind of weirdo.) you can access google by using a thing called a internet browser, like Firefox or Google chrome. You have to get access to a computer first though, or else you won't be able to use a browser |

I am fully aware of how to use Wikipedia but I was just wondered about if there were other sources/sites the OP might have found to the one in the spoiler when looking up this particular topic. Therefore, I wanted to ask his opinion, deciding whether or not those sources were better and reasonable. |

| is it just me or was the answer to this riddle really contrived? although the 2nd version of the riddle exists there was nothing to indicate that that was the right number order. or am i missing something? |
