That last bit from the Chorus: You can't count yourself as happy in life until you die happy. Or, "it ain't over till it's over." Is THAT really the moral of the story? It seems like the lesson all along is "don't think you can outwit the oracles," but then the tag line is Yogi Berra.

Is the lesson of the play more implied than stated? I'd say the lesson is "don't be so incurious and self-satisfied," but I didn't write the tag line.
