No,
No, Oedipus does not have superhuman qualities in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus descends from Poseidon the sun god. But he is a mortal who just so happens to put his human powers to the best use. He receives the best of royal training and knows how to work his brains.
he blames the god of balls
It is Apollo that Oedipus blames for all of his problems in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus commits murderous acts and immoral behavior that trip him up. Oedipus does the misdeeds without knowing the true identities of himself, his victim or his wife. He insists that the gods are to blame for meddling in human lives and that Apollo the sun god particularly is to blame as the god of prophecy. Oedipus maintains that he has no motive other than an understandable effort to do what he can to escape a horrible fate that nevertheless catches him up.
That they control his life and death is the reason why Oedipus calls upon particular gods in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus calls upon the sun god Apollo, who is the lord of the Pythia, oracle of Delphi. He also mentions Zeus, the chief god. Additionally, he refers to the god of the Underworld of the afterlife.
It is in Delphi that the oracle is located in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, there is a shrine to the sun god Apollo in Delphi. Apollo also is the god of prophecy. His most important medium, through whom he speaks of human futures, is the Pythia, who also is called the Delphic oracle.
That to err is human is what is universal about Oedipus' fate in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus makes mistakes because he is mistaken about his self-identity. An inability to see people and all things clearly falls outside the range of human powers. That Oedipus' mistakes catch and trip him up can be generalized to the turns that any and all human lives take between birth and death.
Oedipus, though he was a hero not a god.
The nature god is who Pan is in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Pan is the god of country life and music. He is the god of all nature. He may be considered as the protector of shepherds.
Apollo is a god of fire and light who gives prophecies to both Oedipus and Creon. His knowledge is absolute and are not considered as warnings.
