He emphasizes that being king comes with heavy responsibilities and burdens, which he is not eager to assume. Additionally, Creon points out that he is content with his current status and does not desire more power.

A way of ending the pestilence is what Oedipus hopes to gain by sending his wife's brother to pray to the Delphic oracle in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus knows of the pestilence that afflicts all Thebes. It does not affect the royal household. But Oedipus cares about his people. He therefore asks Creon, his brother-in-law and royal colleague, to seek the advice of the Pythia, the Delphic oracle.
That he awaits the word of the Delphic oracle is what Oedipus tells the priest in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus announces that he already knows about the pestilence in Thebes. He explains that he keeps current with what is going on with his people and his city. He indicates that Creon, his brother-in-law and royal colleague, is consulting with the Delphic oracle as to the causes and solutions of the pestilence.
The insights of the Delphic oracle is the news that Oedipus promises to the priest in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus learns from the priest of Zeus that Thebans are suffering from a pestilence. Oedipus reassures the priest that he awaits news from his brother-in-law and royal colleague, Creon. Creon returns any minute with the insights of the Delphic oracle. Oedipus will share any news immediately with the priest.
Sending Creon to consult the Delphic oracle is the step that Oedipus already takes to deal with the problem in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus does not know what causes or solves the pestilence in Thebes. He is a caring, proactive ruler. So he sends his brother-in-law and royal colleague Creon to find out what the highly respected Delphic oracle has to say.
Creon is Oedipus's uncle.
Creon is Jocasta's brother.
It is the Delphic oracle that Oedipus sends Creon to consult prior to the beginning of the action of "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the Delphic oracle carries the name of the Pythia. As the oracle of Apollo the sun god at Delphi, she is the most famous and respected oracle in ancient Greece. Oedipus therefore sends Creon, his brother-in-law and royal colleague, to find out how to end the pestilence before it ends all life in Thebes.
Consult with the Delphic oracle is what Creon says that Oedipus needs to do to get proof of Creon's innocence in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus groundlessly charges Creon, his brother-in-law and royal colleague, with attempting to usurp all royal powers. Creon defends himself. He says that Oedipus need only check with the Delphic oracle. The oracle will confirm that the pestilence can be ended only with the identification and punishment of the guilty in King Laius' murder.
Consultation with the Delphic oracle, exile from Thebes, and meeting and shared exile with his daughters are Oedipus' requests of Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus first asks his brother-in-law and royal colleague Creon to consult the Delphic oracle about what causes and ends the pestilence in Thebes. He then makes three requests after his overthrow and Creon's succession to the throne. In quick succession, he requests to be exiled instead of executed, to meet with his two young daughters and then to share exile with his daughters.
It is to Delphi that Oedipus sends Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus does not know what causes a pestilence in Thebes. He therefore has Creon, his brother-in-law and royal colleague, take a trip to Delphi. Delphi is the location of the Delphic oracle whose insights are respected throughout all ancient Greece.
It is to find out how to end the pestilence that Oedipus sends Creon to consult the Delphic oracle in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, an environmental disturbance such as pestilence can result from divine wrath over offensive commissions or omissions of mortals. Proper procedure in that case is to consult the Pythia, ancient Greece's most famous and respected oracle. That is precisely what Theban King Oedipus does.
