What two truths does Teiresias reveal to Oedipus in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That he is Laius' killer and that the truth of his existence will destoy him are the two truths that Teiresias reveals to Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus asks for help identifying the guilty in King Laius' murder. But he dislikes what Teiresias the blind prophet tells him. Teiresias charges Oedipus with the crime. He elaborates that before the day is over Oedipus will be destroyed by the truth of his birth, crime and marriage.
What does Teiresias do first when Oedipus asks for help?
The first reaction of Teiresias the blind prophet is not to want to help Theban King Oedipus. Oedipus asks Teiresias for the help that gods and mortals aren't giving him to identify the murderer of previous Theban King Laius. Teiresias indicates that he knows of the long unsolved crime, but doesn't want to give any information. He ends up identifying Oedipus as the very murderer only after being threatened, insulted, and accused as the murder's planner, by the King.
What does Oedipus do to Teiresias in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Bully, insult, malign and reject is what Oedipus does to Teiresias in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus bullies Teiresias into saying what only serves to upset him and his quick temper. He insults Teiresias by calling him a criminal, a fake and a liar. He rejects what Teiresias says and dismisses him unceremoniously. He sustains his anger by maligning Teiresias to the chorus leader, Creon, and Jocasta.
When does Oedipus doubt what Teiresias told him about the identity of Laius' murderer in 'Oedipus Rex'?
It is when Teiresias accuses him of the crime that Oedipus doubts what Teiresias tells him about the identity of Laius' murderer in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus needs help in tracking down the guilty in the old, unsolved murder of King Laius. He looks to his royal advisor, Teiresias the blind prophet. He has his doubts once Teiresias accuses him of killing Laius, whom Oedipus never remembers meeting.
Who is Teiresias in 'Oedipus Rex'?
blind prophet who sees only the truth
Why does Oedipus think that Teiresias is a traitor in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That he accuses him of a crime for which the punishment is loss of job if not of life is the reason why Oedipus thinks that Teiresias is a traitor in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus asks for help in finding the guilty in King Laius' murder. Teiresias the blind prophet charges him with a crime whose victim he never remembers meeting. Killing a king is a serious offense against gods and mortals and results in execution or exile.
What conclusion does Oedipus jump to when the prophet refuses to give specific information about the events surrounding Laius' death in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That Teiresias is involved in the crime is the conclusion that Oedipus jumps to when the prophet refuses to give specific information about the events surrounding Laius' death in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus asks for help in finding the guilty in King Laius' murder. He counts on considerable help from his royal advisor and Thebes' wisest resident, Teiresias the blind prophet. But Teiresias does not want to share. Oedipus interprets this reluctance as Teiresias' involvement as a planner if not a participant in the crime.
Who is Teiresias and what is his role in the play Antigone?
The role of Teiresias is being the blind seer, he also apears in Oedipus Rex. He warns Creon not to kill Antigone becuase he will lose his only son.
What do you consider true crime?
True crime is based on real crimes as opposed to fiction.
What information leads Oedipus to believe that Teiresias is the murderer in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That Teiresias does not want to talk or even be there is the information that leads Oedipus to believe that Teiresias is the murderer in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet is the royal advisor to all of Thebes' kings since the city's founding by founding King Cadmus. He must answer whatever questions that the current king asks of him. But he says that he does not even want to be in Theban King Oedipus' presence. Oedipus therefore states that Teiresias must be the planner if not the perpetrator of the murderous crime against King Laius, Oedipus' royal predecessor.
How do you compare and contrast Creon and Teiresias in 'Antigone'?
That they both are determined but that one is devoted to fate and the other to himself is a way of comparing and contrasting Creon and Teiresias in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Creon and Teiresias the blind prophet believe what they say and say what they believe. They do not care what others think. The reason lies in the object of their respectively fixated devotions. Creon thinks only of himself whereas Teiresias thinks only of the relentless unfurling of each individual's fate.
Why does Teiresias refuses to tell what he knows?
Teiresias does no such thing. He tells Odysseus all he needs to know.
