What does Theseus do for Oedipus in 'Oedipus at Colonus'?

Protect him and his daughters from Thebans and escort him to his death place are what Theseus does for Oedipus in "Oedipus at Colonus" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, disgraced King Oedipus ends up just outside Athens after years in exile from his Theban hometown. According to the Delphic oracle, Oedipus is a good luck charm to wherever he dies. Creon, Oedipus' brother-in-law and former royal colleague, and Eteocles, Oedipus' own son, attempt to separate Oedipus from his daughters, the Princesses Antigone and Ismene, and to force Oedipus to be buried in an unmarked grave that will bring good fortune to Thebes. But Theseus asserts his authority and power as King of Athens and as Oedipus' protector and thereby receives the good fortune inherent in being the only person to know how and where Oedipus dies.


What are two stories about why theseus returned without ariadne?

However, when they landed on the island of Naxos, Theseus abandoned her as she was sleeping. It was here that the god Dionysos discovered her and made her his wife. Some say that she was later slain by Artemis, or else granted immortality. In another account, Ariadne's bridal with Dionysos occurred several generations before, when the god was still wandering the earth introducing his cult. But when he rode into battle against the Argives with his band of sea women, she was slain or turned to stone by King Perseus. The god then descended to the underworld through Lerna to bring her back, before ascending to Olympus.


How did Zeus get his siblings back?

THIS IS MY VERSION! DON'T USE THIS ANSWER FOR SCHOOL!! He contacted Clakara, godess of fat men. She stated there was no way besides to defeat the dangerous, killer, comic geek, wetted pants, fat man, no other than Mr. Fluffy Kitty Pants. No other hero or warrior not even god had defeated this monster... Jason, Posiden, Achilles, Thesues, and Hera were all dead because of this monster. Mr. Fluffy Kitty Pants is guarded by the Fates, his faithful minions. Clakara said that would bring her the Grave Stone, which would give her the power to bring her minion, Fat Wee-Snaw Cow back, as well as Zues's sibilings. Zues eventually defeated him, but didn't bring the stone back to Clakara, and used it for his own purposes.... THANK YOU FOR READING THIS ENTERTAINING STORY!!!!!

Why were greek theatres set up?

SO PEOPLE WHERE INTERTANED AND THEY WHERE ROWNED SO EVERY ONE HAD A GOOD VIEW OF THE ACTORS THESIOS AND THE MINITOR THIS IS A LONG STORY In Greek mythology, Theseus can truly be thought of as the greatest Athenian hero. He was the son of Aegeus, king of Athens, and Aethra, princess of Troezen, and daughter of Pittheus, king of Troezen. Before Theseus was born his father Aegeus left Aethra in Troezen of Argolis and returned to Athens before he was born. But before he left king Aegeus put his sword and his pair of sandals under a large rock and said to Aethra that when Theseus was old enough to lift the heavy rock that Theseus should take the sword and sandals and come to see him in Athens. At the age of 16 after being brought up in Troezen, Theseus was finally able to lift the heavy rock. Theseus with his long blond hair then took the sword and the sandals and began his journey to Athens to claim Aegeus as his father. The young Theseus made his hazardous journey by the coast road along the Isthmus, clearing the road of six villains, murderers, and monsters which inhabited the road. Theseus killed these villains by the same method by which they had murdered their own victims. Among the villains that Theseus killed, were Sciron, Sinis, Procrustes and Phaea. Theseus arrived in Athens wearing a sword and a pair of sandals that Aegeus had left for him in Troezen. He was then greeted by his father Aegeus and his stepmother Medea who was a sorceress. But she was jealous of his influence over Aegeus so Medea tried to kill him by sending him to kill a wild bull. But Theseus succeeded and sacrificed the bull to Apollo. He then returned to Athens and was almost poisoned by Medea, but as soon as Aegeus got wind of her plot, he proclaimed Theseus his son and heir to the thrown and banished Medea from Athens and she escaped to what is now Asia. According to legend, the people of Athens had to send seven youths and seven Maidens every year as a tribute to Minos, the king of Create, to be eaten by the Minitor, who was a terrible monster, half man and half bull. Theseus decided to go as one of the youths and try to kill the minitor. When he reached Create, Ariadne, the beautiful daughter of Minos fell in love will him and helped him kill the Minitor by giving him a sword which he killed the Minitor with and a ball of thread to help him find his way out of the labyrinth in which the Minitor lived. Theseus then left Create with Ariadne but dumped her on the way back to Athens. On his return from Create to Athens, however, in his hurry to get home, he forgot to hoist a white sail signaling his success against the Minotaur. So when Aegeus saw a black sail, he believed that his son was dead and was so sad that he threw himself from a high rocky cliff into the sea, which has ever since been known as the Aegean Sea in his honor. Theseus then became the King of Athens. And as king of Athens, Theseus was wise and generous, and united the many small communitties of the Attic plain into a strong and powerful nation and brought prosperity and civilization to the people. But he kept his love of danger and adventure and during a war with the Amazon Women he abducted the Amazon Hippolyta, who bore him a son who was named Hippolytus. He took part in the Calydonian boar hunt and in the quest of the Argonauts for the Golden Fleece. He was a devoted friend of Pirithous, king of the Lapithae, whom he accompanied to the underworld to rescue the goddess Persephone. Both men were imprisoned by the god Hades for their rash deed, but Theseus was subsequently rescued by Hercules. Returning to Athens, Theseus found his kingdom in disarray, torn by rebellion and corruption. Unable to reestablish authority, he sent his children away and sailed to the island of Skyros, where Lycomedes, king of Skyros, murdered him by throwing him from a cliff into the sea. Later the Delphic oracle commanded the Athenians to gather Theseus's bones and bring them back to Athens. The Athenians then paid him great honor by building him a tomb dedicated to the poor and helpless whom he had befriended. greek thitor


Why has thesus ordered a revel?

Theseus has ordered a revel to celebrate his upcoming marriage to Hippolyta, the Queen of the Amazons. The festivities are meant to honor their union and bring joy to the people of Athens. This celebration serves as a backdrop for the unfolding events in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," where love and magic intertwine.


What is a summary of 'Oedipus at Colonus'?

That Oedipus arrives at Colonus, befriends Theseus, curses his sons and Creon, dies, and gives luck to Athens through his death is a summary of "Oedipus at Colonus" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princesses Antigone and Ismene accompany their father, disgraced Theban King Oedipus, in exile. The trio arrive at Colonus, a village outside Athens and location of a grove sacred to the Furies. Oedipus becomes friends with Athenian King Theseus, who protects him from local hostility and all three from violent forays by Creon, Oedipus' brother-in-law and former royal colleague. He meets with and curses his son Polyneices, who plans to attack Thebes in order to defend the royal power seized from him by his brother Eteocles and his uncle Creon. Oedipus then meets with Theseus and says that Colonus is the death place identified in an otherwise dreadful prophecy and that his death will bring good luck to Theseus' city. A sudden, fierce storm thunders through the area as a divine sign of Oedipus' imminent death. Oedipus says his goodbyes to Antigone and Ismene and walks to death in a secret, sacred place with only Theseus as witness.


What does this mean Now fair Hippolyta your nuptial hour draws apace Four Happy Days bring in another moon?

Theseus can hardly wait to spend the night with his bride-to-be - "four happy days" seems like an eternity when you're in love. To make the time pass quickly, Theseus tells his party planner (Philostrate) to go and "stir up the Athenian youth to merriments" (read: partying, hooking up, and fooling around, which is basically what goes down in the woods).
