"Rex" is Latin for "King". Oedipus Rex means "Oedipus the King".
Thebes is the setting of Oedipus Rex because it is the place where the story begins.
'King' is an English equivalent of 'Rex' in the play 'Oedipus Rex'.
The shepherd in Oedipus Rex is the person who rescues Oedipus Rex as a child. The shepherd also confirms the main character's fate.
It is an ode that the chorus sings at the conclusion of scene 1 in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, plays follow set rules in ancient Greece. One such rules pertains to structure. An ode separates each scene in the play. It therefore signifies the ending of one scene and the beginning of the next.
His compassion, patriotism and proactiveness are Oedipus' qualities that are emphasized in the first scene of "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus demonstrates compassion in his heartfelt concern over the suffering of Thebans. He exhibits patriotism in his dedication to righting whatever wrong his city faces. He manifests proactiveness in anticipating the city's needs and keeping current of developing situations.
Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone
That Oedipus is executed or that he is exiled alone or with his daughters are three possible endings to "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, these suggestions take into consideration that the murder of a father and of a king seriously offends the gods. The gods therefore can be counted on to punish. But there actually is yet a fourth option, which is presented in Book 23 of "The Iliad" by Homer (fl. 8th century B.C.E.): Oedipus is placed under house arrest and lives out his life in Thebes, where funeral games are held after his death.
Oedipus Rex is part of a four part collection of plays, three tradgedies and a comedy. We do not have the Comedy but the three tradgedies are "Oedipus Rex", "Oedipus at Colonus", and "Antigone".
