What does Theseus do for Oedipus in 'Oedipus at Colonus'?
Protect him and his daughters from Thebans and escort him to his death place are what Theseus does for Oedipus in "Oedipus at Colonus" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, disgraced King Oedipus ends up just outside Athens after years in exile from his Theban hometown. According to the Delphic oracle, Oedipus is a good luck charm to wherever he dies. Creon, Oedipus' brother-in-law and former royal colleague, and Eteocles, Oedipus' own son, attempt to separate Oedipus from his daughters, the Princesses Antigone and Ismene, and to force Oedipus to be buried in an unmarked grave that will bring good fortune to Thebes. But Theseus asserts his authority and power as King of Athens and as Oedipus' protector and thereby receives the good fortune inherent in being the only person to know how and where Oedipus dies.
