Why is Oedipus still important to Thebes in 'Oedipus Rex' 'Oedipus at Colonus' and 'Antigone'?
That he is the city's savior is the reason why Oedipus remains important to Thebes in "Oedipus Rex," "Oedipus at Colonus" and "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus becomes the disgraced King of Thebes. But he cannot be dismissed or ignored historically. He rescues the city from the monstrous Sphinx and from a pestilence of ailing livestock, dying children and failing crops.
What makes Oedipus consult an oracle when he was young in 'Oedipus Rex'?
An attempt to learn the truth regarding an upsetting rumor about his parentage is the reason why Oedipus goes to the oracle as a young man in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, a dinner guest who remains nameless says that Oedipus is not Corinthian King Polybus' son. Oedipus is shocked and distressed, because he feels very loved by his father and his mother, Queen Merope. When his parents fudge on answering his questions, Oedipus does what any royal would do in a similar situation in ancient Greece: he consults the nearest oracle.
Which of Oedipus's children was mentioned in the play?
All four of Oedipus' children were mentioned in the play 'Antigone'. Oedipus and Jocasta, who was both his mother and his wife, had twin sons named Eteocles and Polyneices. The twins were named as the kings who killed each other, because they couldn't agree to alternate years of rule. Oedipus and Jocasta had two daughters named Antigone and Ismene. Ismene was a survivor, whereas Antigone was a terminal risk taker.
