Creon bringing Oedipus' children out comes before Oedipus asking to be allowed to bring his children with him into exilein "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus loses his job as king of Thebes because of criminal acts and immoral behavior.

How does Creon respond to Oedipus' request to be allowed to bring his children with him into exile in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That it is up to the gods is the way in which Creon responds to Oedipus' request to be allowed to bring his children with him into exile in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, disgraced Theban King Oedipus does not want to be punished with execution instead of exile. He does not want to be sent into exile alone. He dares to ask Creon, his brother-in-law and royal successor, for what he wants. He gets no answer since Creon follows proper procedure and therefore awaits divine word on what to do.

Oedipus' daughters are the individuals whom Creon brings to Oedipus at the end of "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princesses Antigone and Ismene are King Oedipus' daughters and half-sisters. Oedipus is supposed to be shunned if not outright isolated for killing his father and marrying his mother. But Creon lets Oedipus, his brother-in-law and royal predecessor, meet with his children while everyone awaits the expression of divine will as to whether Oedipus is to be punished with execution or exile for his albeit unknowing criminal act and immoral behavior.


What does Creon say when Oedipus asks for his children to accompany him in exile in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That Oedipus must come to terms with a lack of control over life from henceforth and that he must await the decision of the gods are the ways in which Creon responds when Oedipus asks to bring his children with him into exile in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus must be punished with execution or exile for serious offenses against gods and mortals. He tries to force the issue towards exile by asking to see and then not be separated from his daughters, the Princesses Antigone and Ismene. Creon just wants to get Oedipus out of the sight and out of mind of Thebans and to await divine judgment on what happens next.

To bring them to him, to function as guardian and to let them accompany him in exile are what Oedipus asks of Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, disgraced Theban King Oedipus asks his brother-in-law and royal successor King Creon to allow him visit with his young daughters, the sister Princesses Antigone and Ismene. He then asks Creon to function as guardian of the young girls. He finally asks Creon to let him take the girls with him into exile.


What news does the Messenger bring from Oedipus' homeland and why does it relieve Jocasta in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That Polybus is dead is the news that the Messenger brings from Oedipus' homeland and that the death is from natural causes is the reason why Jocasta is relived in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus fears his fate as his father's killer. But the Corinthian messenger lets Oedipus' wife Queen Jocasta know that Oedipus' presumed father, King Polybus, is dead from illness and old age. Jocasta welcomes the news since Oedipus is far away in Thebes and therefore cannot be said to bring about his father's death in Corinth.
