It is helpfully and straightforwardly that Oedipus treats the priest in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the priest asks for help in ending the pestilence in Thebes. Theban King Oedipus outlines what he can do, such as find out what the Delphic oracle advises. He promises that he will fight the pestilence until he or it ends, whichever comes first.

He asks Theban King Oedipus to draw upon his own superior qualities and divine favor to end the pestilence.
Birds, fiery gods and ships are metaphors that the priest uses in the beginning of "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the priest compares the Theban suppliants to fledgling birds. He makes the comparison of the pestilence to a fiery god. He notes that the city of Thebes will becomes an empty ship unless the pestilence soon is ended.
Ending the pestilence is the priest's request of Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, a pestilence afflicts Thebes. It causes children to die, crops to fail and livestock to ail. It has a chance of being solved if Theban King Oedipus gets involved.
That he will make every effort to end the pestilence before it ends Thebes is the promise that Oedipus makes to the priest and suppliants in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus knows that Thebes suffers from a pestilence of ailing livestock, dying children and failing crops. He learns that the pestilence will end with the identification and punishment of the guilty in King Laius' murder. He loves his city and its people. He promises that he will fight to death to find the guilty and end the pestilence.

The suppliants have set up altars in the clearing. They plan to have the priest bring up the pestilential problem in a public meeting with their beloved and respected King Oedipus.

Help in ending the pestilence and in finding the guilty in Laius' death are the pleas in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the priest of Zeus and the Theban suppliants ask for help in ending the pestilence in Thebes.
