Best Answer

In antistrophe 3 of the parados, the chorus concludes with a plea for Bacchus' help. Bacchus is a god who's liked while the war god Ares isn't. A military solution is feared and rejected, in the immediately preceding strophe 3. So the chorus asks Bacchus, 'blithe god whom we adore', to get any soldiers drunk. The drunkenness will remove the influence of Ares, the 'god whom gods abhor', from Thebes.

What does the last line mean in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That he is a constant reminder of the failed revolt that is a mortal life is the meaning of the last line in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the last line advises the audience that no one can be happy as long as Theban King Oedipus lives. Oedipus is cursed because of his family background and because of his own proactiveness gainst a horrible fate. The gods lack well wishes for mortals, whose only happiness is in entering the deathly Underworld of the afterlife.

The Oedipus complex is the attraction to your parent of the opposite sex and the hatred of your parent of the same sex. Oedipus Rex killed his father and married his mother. (In his defense, he didn't know they were his parents.)


What does Oedipus learn about the gods in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That they mean business and never let things drop is what Oedipus learns about the gods in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus receives a dreadful prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother. Rather than accept such a miserable fate, Oedipus makes an effort to avoid it by running away from his presumed family and settling down far away. But he ultimately discovers that all his choices and actions serve only to fulfill his unenviable destiny. He therefore comes to realize that the gods say what they mean, mean what they say and do whatever it takes to make sure that they always have the upper hand.

What is an apostrophe in drama?

I wonder if you mean 'antistrophe'. In ancient Greek Drama the chorus delivering an ode would move across the stage in one direction (the strophe) and then turn and move in the opposite direction (the antistrophe). But since in rhetoric an apostrophe means a diversion or digression, I suppose that the turning point when the chorus switches from strophe to antistrophe could be considered an apostrophe too.

What does Oedipus mean when he speaks of looking at the light for the last time in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That he will not see daylight since it never reveals the truth of his existence is what Oedipus means when he speaks of looking at the light for the last time in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the term light describes the sunlight and the truth. Theban King Oedipus has a mistaken self-image even though he spends his life processing what he thinks he sees in broad daylight. He plans to blind himself in order not to be deceived or distracted by how appearances seen by physical sight can be misleading.
