That the gods win even when they appear to lose is the cosmic irony in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, cosmic irony describes a situation of incomplete or incorrect understanding of the workings of divine and natural forces in the universe. The description fits the role of divinely ordained fate in the lives of Theban monarchs Jocasta, Laius and Oedipus. All three hear unacceptable prophecies which they believe to sabotage. But every step that each one takes away from unenviable fate is a regular contribution to that very destiny's fulfillment in all its horror.
Romantic irony is a literary technique where the author or narrator presents events in a way that is different from what the characters understand, creating a sense of irony for the reader. It often involves contrasting romantic ideals with the reality of a situation, highlighting the discrepancy between expectation and outcome.

That the gods must be obeyed but feared and that divine favor must be sought but dreaded are the ways in which cosmic irony is a part of "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, irony refers to something happening other than what is intended or to something else being in effect other than what is assumed. The irony is cosmic when it refers to the universe, which is under divine control according to the ancient Greeks. These cosmically ironic experiences occur in "Oedipus Rex" when the gods must be courted with sacrificial offerings and respectful speech regarding the significant personal and professional events in mortal lives. But in return, the gods release unenviable propheciesand solutions that must be carried out to the last detail and whose thwarting carries a high price. Either way, the gods are supposed to be there to guide and yet that guidance is cosmically irionic in always involving the suffering of beloved and hated mortals.
