What is the structure of 'Oedipus Rex'?

Answer 1

Comments and conversations in the episodes and songs in the odes is the structure of "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, the play begins with an introductory episode to acquaint the audience with the characters and the themes. The prologue is followed by the parados, which is the first ode sung as chorus members make their first onstage appearance. The parados is followed by an alternating arrangement of episodes and odes. The fourth ode is followed by the exodus, which is the fifth and final scene.

Answer 2

Oedipus has a classical structure: exposition, development, reversal, crisis, and denouement.
