What is Oedipus' false conclusion after quarreling with Teiresias in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That Teiresias and Creon are conspiring against him is the false conclusion that Theban King Oedipus reaches after quarreling with Teiresias in the play "Oedipus Rex."Specifically, Teiresias is a long-lived, blind prophet. As advisor to the kings of Thebes since the city's founding by Cadmus, Teiresias is the authority on Theban history, the councillor on current Theban events, and the seer of the Theban future. But Oedipus does not like Teiresias' historical references, the contemporary assessment or the predicted outcome. So he rashly and mistakenly decides that the blind prophet must be planning a royal overthrow with Creon, Oedipus' brother-in-law, co-ruler and uncle.


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.


Who is Teiresias in 'Oedipus Rex' and 'Antigone'?

The interpreter of ritual sacrifices, the hermitresident of the hills outside Thebes, the blind prophet of Thebes and the advisor to Theban kings is who Teiresias is in "Oedipus Rex" and "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the gods take away Teiresias' sight either for revealing divine secrets to humans or for seeing Athena, goddess of wisdom, in her bath. Either way, in return and in compensation, Teiresias is a storehouse of knowledge regarding all things Theban, a seer of the future of Thebans and their city, and an advisor on present events.

What explains Teiresias' delay in 'Oedipus Rex'?

Oedipus' impatience or Teiresias' reluctance or increasing old age may explain Teiresias' delay in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.). Specifically, the audience does not know that Teiresias' arrival really is delayed. It is Theban King Oedipus who says that the blind prophet already should be at the palace as he speaks. But then he says the same thing previously about Creon's arrival time from consulting the Apolline oracle. If Oedipus is correct in the delay, it is possible that Teiresias procrastinates because he knows that what he is going to say will be considered treasonous by his king. It also may be possible that Teiresias' age is catching up with him. He is the advisor to all of Thebes' kings since the time of the city's founding four generations before the current. He is dead by the time of Oedipus' grandson Thersander so he is getting on in age.
