What is the chorus' reference in saying disaster never leaves a house once shaken by heaven?
The chorus refers to the cursed house of Labdacus in saying disaster never leaves a house once shaken by heaven. Specifically, the descendants of cursed Theban King Labdacus are cursed for his having offended Dionysus the wine god. A divine curse upon an individual affects not only that individual but also all of that individual's descendants.
Labdacus is the father of cursed Theban King Laius, who is killed by his own son, subsequent Theban King Oedipus. Oedipus also is cursed by wedding and bedding his own mother, Theban Queen Jocasta. Oedipus' and Jocasta's children additionally are cursed by their twin sons, Eteocles and Polyneices, killing each other off. Their daughter Antigone is cursed by disobeying a Theban law that's punishable by death.
Oedipus' and Jocasta's daughter Ismene may be their only child to escape the curse, depending upon her ultimate fate. According to some sources, she survives the deadly fight between her sister Antigone and her uncle Creon. According to the one dissenting source of Mimnermus [flourished 630-600 B.C.E.], she doesn't escape the curse, because of her death during the siege of the Seven Captains against Thebes.
