What request does the priest make of Oedipus in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Ending the pestilence is the priest's request of Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, a pestilence afflicts Thebes. It causes children to die, crops to fail and livestock to ail. It has a chance of being solved if Theban King Oedipus gets involved.
How can tragedy be avoided in 'Oedipus Rex'?
It is by telling Oedipus of his true parentage that tragedy may be avoided in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus does not know that he is the adopted or foster son of Corinthian monarchs Polybus and Merope. He gets the prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother. He is frightened and runs away to Thebes. In the process, he kills an older version of himself and marries a beautiful widowed queen old enough to be his mother. The exposure of the truth years later leaves Oedipus' wife and mother Jocasta dead and Oedipus himself friendless, homeless, jobless and sightless.All these tragedies may be avoided by Oedipus knowing his true parentage and therefore not ending up in the least desirable of places, in his hometown of Thebes.
