Imagery refers to the vivid pictures that are called up by the character's words. For example, the chorus speaks of the human heart as being on the rack and twisting thereon, in the first ode. Second, in his dealings with Teiresias the blind prophet, Theban King Oedipus calls the Sphinx a female dog. The Sphinx has a woman's head and a lion's body. Thus she more appropriately is called a cat. Third, in the second ode, the chorus compares the killer of Theban King Laius to a wild bull. Fourth, just after the third ode, Theban Queen Jocasta compares the Thebans to sailors who notice that their helmsman is terrified.
