The Delphic oracle made many statements, which were often so vague that it is really a matter of interpretation, whether they did or did not prove to be accurate. If you want to enquire about a specific oracular prediction, which one is it?
The Delphic oracle's statement comes true. (Apex)
The Delphic Oracles came true, and Theban King Oedipus didn't kill his own mother, Theban Queen Jocasta. It was predicted that Oedipus would become a killer of his own father and a sex offender with his own mother. Albeit unknowingly, he indeed killed his father, Theban King Laius. Albeit unknowingly once again, he wedded and bedded his own mother. Years later, when Jocasta realized the true identity of her second husband, she killed herself.
The Delphic oracle is the only oracle in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the Delphic oracle is consulted by Theban King Oedipus when he has questions about his true parentage. It also is to be consulted by King Laius, who is killed before doing so.
A. Oedipus marries his mother, bearing four children with her, after killing his father, the previous King of Thebes.
Theban King Oedipus kills his father, Theban King Laius, is the only statement that's true. The Sphinx doesn't prevail over Thebes, because she's defeated by Oedipus. Oedipus doesn't kill his mother, Theban Queen Jocasta. Instead, he marries her. The realization of that incest years later causes Jocasta to take her own life. The Delphic Oracle's statement comes true. The Oracle gives an accurate prediction of how Oedipus will live out his fate, as a murderer and a sex offender.
Oedipus is King of Thebes.
Definitely not true, I saw them last night and he seemed pretty alive to me!!
They did not come by aeroplane.
If the statement is false, then "This statement is false", is a lie, making it "This statement is true." The statement is now true. But if the statement is true, then "This statement is false" is true, making the statement false. But if the statement is false, then "This statement is false", is a lie, making it "This statement is true." The statement is now true. But if the statement is true, then... It's one of the biggest paradoxes ever, just like saying, "I'm lying right now."
Circular logic would be a statement or series of statements that are true because of another statement, which is true because of the first. For example, statement A is true because statement B is true. Statement B is true because statement A is true
If a statement is true, then its negation is false. The negation of a statement is essentially the opposite of that statement; it asserts that the original statement is not true. Therefore, if the original statement holds true, the negation cannot hold true simultaneously.
In computing, this is an AND statement.
