Why is Oedipus considered the wisest man on earth in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That he solves the Sphinx's riddle is the reason why Oedipus is considered the wisest man on earth in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the Sphinx asks what life form moves on fours in the morning, twos in the afternoon and threes in the evening. No one can figure out the answer. But Oedipus figures out that it is a man crawling as a baby, getting around independently as an adult and needing assistance as a senior citizen.


How is Oedipus' fate determined?

The will of the gods is what determines Theban King Oedipus' fate. But it's his own flawed choices and actions that make sure that that fate's carried out. Oedipus is allowed to learn in advance of his unenviable fate by way of the Delphic Oracle. So he learns that he's fated to kill his father and marry his mother.The two offenses are particularly heinous against the gods and against mortals. The murder of one's father, who also is one's royal sovereign, is seen almost as killing a representative of divine order on earth. The wedding and bedding of one's own mother is seen almost as presuming to behave as the gods.Specifically, the way that life is started among gods, and among mortals, is through the incestuous relationship of Mother Gaia with her own son, Saturn. But what gods do and what mortals do are two separate issues. Relationships that are considered too close nowadays aren't considered necessarily so in previous times. Ancient and modern peoples nevertheless find common ground in their horrified opposition to the wedding and bedding of mother and son or of daughter and father.

What is the weight of the globe?

Firstly, the term 'weight' of earth is not completely correct according to physics. Weight of a body on earth is defined as the force with which earth pulls the body. The correct question should have been about the 'mass' of earth which is 5.9742* 10^24 kg.

How did the Athens look into the future?

They consulted the oracle in Delphi which was believed to be the center of the world. The Delphic priestess, or sibyl, would inhale vapors from a fissure in the earth and answer questions while in a trance. The answers were sometimes confusing, and the oracle was not immune to bribery, but the Athenians and other Greeks still regarded it as credible precognition.

Which of the gods of Olympus is a computer programming language?

Perhaps you are thinking of Python. However, according to the myth, Python was not an Olympian god he was an earth spirit (son of Gaia). The myth also mentions that Python presided over the Delphic Oracle, which is where the names of the Delphi programming language and the Oracle DBMS originated. It's also possible you really meant Roman gods rather than Olympians, in which case Mercury is probably the language you are referring to.

Who is the wisest man on earth?

It's subjective to determine the wisest person on earth as wisdom is a subjective concept. Different cultures and societies have their own definitions of wisdom, so it's not possible to point to a single individual and say they are the wisest.
