That he epitomizes it is the way in which fate relates to Teiresias in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet acts as a living library of all past, present and future knowledge of Thebes. But he can share his vast insights only upon the request of the currently reigning king. What he shares does not alter fate. Instead, it justifies fate and validates divine control over mortal lives. For that reason, Teiresias urges Creon to bury Polyneices since the gods guarantee below ground burials to all Thebans be they loyal or not to their hometown.
