What does Creon tell Oedipus to do if he finds out that Creon is a liar in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Arrest and execute him is what Creon tells Oedipus to do if he finds out that Creon is a liar in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Creon comes back from Delphi with the oracle's prophecy that the pestilence in Thebes will end with the identification and punishment of the guilty in Theban King Laius' death. Teiresias the blind prophet then declares that King Oedipus is guilty of his royal predecessor's death. Oedipus finds it all too suspicious that the two statements can result in his overthrow and execution or exile. But Creon swears that he approves his own death if Oedipus finds proof of deceit and conspiracy.
What are the events in first to last order from the falling action on in 'Oedipus Rex'?
A messenger announces Jocasta's death. Oedipus asks Creon to banish him from Thebes. Creon brings Oedipus's children to him. Oedipus asks that he be allowed to bring his children with him into exile.
Why does Oedipus refuse to change his mind about Creon in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Because Oedipus does not see how he can be Laius' killer, because Teiresias' charges to that effect will lead to Oedipus' overthrow or death, and because Creon stands the most to gain, Oedipus refuses to change his mind about Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet says that Oedipus is the mystery killer of previous Theban King Laius. Oedipus, his wife Jocasta and his brother-in-law Creon are joint rulers of Thebes. The charge against Oedipus is punishable by exile or death. Either way, Oedipus loses his job, and Creon therefore adds more responsibilities and power to his. Oedipus therefore assumes that Teiresias is making the charge up so that Creon can have all the royal power and glory for himself.

How does Oedipus plan to punish Creon in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Death is the way in which Oedipus plans to punish Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus decides that his royal advisor, Teiresias the blind prophet, and his royal colleague, Creon, are conspiring to grab all royal powers for themselves. He confronts Creon, his brother-in-law and uncle, but rejects the latter's spirited but logical self-defense. Oedipus announces that punishment options are exile or execution, and he favors the latter.

What does Creon say that persuades Jocasta to urge Oedipus to believe him in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That he curses himself if he lies is what Creon says that persuades Jocasta to urge Oedipus to believe him in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Creon asks to be cursed and die if he lies in saying that he does not seek Theban King Oedipus' job. Queen Jocasta, Creon's sister, believes that no sane person calls upon a cursed existence and death. She makes a valiant effort to change Oedipus' mind and to end the conflict between her brother and her second husband.
Why does Creon consider Oedipus' accusation so seriously in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That it is untrue and that it carries a capital punishment are reasons why Creon considers Oedipus' accusation so serious in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus accuses Creon of conspiring with Teiresias the blind prophet to grab royal powers all for themselves. He charges that Creon and Teiresias are telling lies that Oedipus is King Laius' killer. It is treasonous to make false statements against the king. The liar receives a punishment of execution or exile. Oedipus seeks the death sentence.
Who talks Oedipus out of executing or exiling Creon in 'Oedipus Rex'?
The chorus leader talks Oedipus out of exiling or executing Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus accuses Creon, his brother-in-law and royal colleague, of trying to grab the royal power all for himself. This is a treasonable charge to make. It automatically carries a punishment of death or exile. Theban Queen Jocasta, Oedipus' wife and Creon's sister, tries to talk her husband out of carrying through on this threat. She does not succeed, but the chorus leader as head of the Theban elders does get through.
What information does Creon share with Oedipus in 'Oedipus Rex'?
The source and the countermeasures to the pestilence that afflicts Thebes is the information that Theban King Creon shares with Oedipus, his brother-in-law, co-ruler and nephew in the play "Oedipus Rex."Specifically, Creon consults with the Oracle of the shrine to Apollo. He learns that the entire city is polluted from the unsolved mystery of the death of Laius, Creon's brother-in-law and royal predecessor. He also learns that the pestilence will be ended with the identification and execution or exile of the person or persons who killed Laius.
What does Oedipus ask Creon in 'Oedipus Rex'?
It is about the Delphic oracle, Laius' death, lies, and the outcome of his overthrow that Oedipus asks Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus asks Creon about the Delphic oracle's insights on how to end the current pestilence in Thebes. He poses questions about finding the guilty in King Laius' murder. He questions Creon about the lies that appear to be told by Teiresias the blind prophet. Finally, he seeks to know if he can be exiled instead of executed and if he can see his daughters, the sister Princesses Antigone and Ismene.
What punishment does Oedipus say he wants for Creon?
Oedipus, in a fit of rage and accusation against Creon, initially demands that Creon be punished for allegedly conspiring against him. He expresses a desire for severe punishment, including death or exile. However, as the story unfolds, Oedipus realizes the truth of his own situation and reflects on his earlier demands, revealing his tragic misunderstanding of loyalty and justice. Ultimately, his focus shifts from punishing Creon to confronting his own fate.
