∙ 12y agoFull of pestilential sickness, lamentation and death is the way in which the chorus describes Thebes in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the chorus describes Thebes in the parados, which is their first onstage appearance. The ode is sung just after Theban King Oedipus' opening interaction with the priest of Zeus and then with his brother-in-law and royal colleague Creon. The chorus makes a request that all gods except Ares the war god come to the aid of "glorious" Thebes.
