That he wants to go back home and that he needs to be listened to are the statements that Teiresias makes when he respectively arrives in "Oedipus Rex" and "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Oedipus aims for Teiresias the blind prophet's insights into King Laius' killer. Teiresias promptly asks to go back home since he will have to accuse Oedipus of being Laius' killer. He has similarly upsetting comments to make to Oedipus' royal successor, King Creon. He must let Creon know that the current pestilence is rooted in a recent royal edict that contradicts divine will and Theban traditions. He prepares for the difficult charges by insisting that he must be listened to.
Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone
Antigone is a young girl in Oedipus and she has no lines. It is not until Oedipus at Colonus that her character begins to develop.
That she is a child who suffers but who is not known to do great things is the reason why Antigone is not the tragic hero of the play "Oedipus Rex."Specifically, a person who is tragic meets with a bad end. A person who is heroic is capable of doing great deeds. The job description matches Antigone's father, Theban King Oedipus, in the play "Oedipus Rex" and herself in the play "Antigone".
No one. Oedipus blinds himself in the play 'Oedipus Rex'.
Antigone's mother was Jocasta, wife of Oedipus, who was Antigone's father. The play Oedipus Rex, in which Antigone is a non-speaking character, describes the relationship of Jocasta and Oedipus - unbeknownst to them, Jocasta was actually Oedipus' mother in addition to his wife. When they learn this, Jocasta kills herself and Oedipus blinds himself.
