Teiresias is the blind prophet in the play "Oedipus Rex."Specifically, Teiresias is called to help Theban King Oedipus find the murderer or murderers of Theban King Laius. Teiresias is reluctant to cooperate in the investigation. The audience soon realizes that the reluctance stems from the fact that Teiresias alone in Thebes knows the identity of the murderer.
The blind Theban prophet Teiresias
That it is his fate is the reason that Teiresias says that Oedipus will be blind in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet announces that Theban King Oedipus has physical sight. But he advises that Oedipus actually does not see in the sense of processing or understanding what stares him in his face about his true identity. He cautions that Oedipus will lose his physical sight before the day ends.
