How does swollen foot relate to the play Oedipus?
Oedipus comes from that he was left in the mountains with his ankles pinned together. Jocasta explains that Laius abandoned him in this state on a barren mountain shortly after he was born. The injury leaves Oedipus with a scar for the rest of his life. It symbolizes the way his movements have been confined and constrained since birth, by Apollo's prophecy to Laius.

What are ten similarities between the plays 'Antigone' and 'Oedipus Rex'?
Following is a list of ten (10) similarities between the plays "Antigone" and "Oedipus Rex" by ancient Greek playwright Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.):1. The area just outside the main entrance to the royal palace of Thebes is the main setting.2. The chorus indicates that Theban King Oedipus and his daughter/half-sister Theban Princess Antigone may be victimsof a divine curse on the House of Theban King Labadacus, from whom they descend.3. The critical deeds of Oedipus and then of Antigone are motivated by passion and defended without recognition or respect for an opposing viewpoint.4. The entire environment of Thebes is polluted by disrespect to the dead - the death of Theban King Laius in "Oedipus Rex" and the non-burial of Theban Prince Polyneices - as crimes against the gods and by omission of cleansing rituals.5. The explanation for and the resolution to the environmental pollution are given by the blind prophet Teiresias.6. The fates of Oedipus as the victor over the Sphinx and of Antigone as the respecter of the old ways and the burier of her dishonored brother are consolidated by the doing of the above-mentioned great, heroic deeds: No good deed goes unpunished.7. The motives of Theban King Creon are questioned by Oedipus as his brother-in-law and co-ruler and by Antigone as his niece and intended daughter-in-law;8. The Queen of Thebes, Jocasta, is the mother of Oedipus, who becomes her second husband, and of Antigone, who thereby ends up as Oedipus' daughter and half-sister.9. The seer Teiresias is insulted and threatened - with unenviable consequences - by the reigning sovereign, with the king being Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" and Creon in "Antigone."10. The tragedies end with the suicide of Jocasta and Antigone as the respectively main female characters in "Oedipus Rex" and "Antigone" and with the personal and professional shaming of Oedipus and Creon as the respectively main male characters in "Oedipus Rex" and "Antigone."
How is the main conflict resolved at the end of 'Oedipus at Colonus'?
It is through Oedipus' death at the prophesied location and in the prophesied way that the main conflict is resolved at the end of "Oedipus at Colonus" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, disgraced Theban King Oedipus comes to a grove that is sacred to the Furies of fate in an area near Colonus. He recognizes it as the prophesied place of his death. King Creon struggles to have Oedipus' death and burial take place near Thebes. It turns out that wherever Oedipus dies is prophesied to bring luck to the surrounding area and peoples. The death works out in the prophesied place and manner when Athenian King Theseus prevails as Oedipus' sole escort to a secret place of death that brings luck to Athens.
