It is in defending himself when outnumbered and in surviving shocking disappointment and disgrace that Oedipus is strong in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Oedipus draws upon his physical strength when he defends himself against six people who jostle and strike him in the intersection of the Delphi-Daulia crossroads of Phocis. He falls back upon that same strength when he takes on the responsibility of tracking down the guilty in the murder of his royal predecessor, King Laius. He relies on it again when he survives the shocking disappointment and disgrace of realizing that his life is exactly the way the Furies of fate want it to be, in every last horrifying detail.
