It is a proactive attitude that Oedipus shows in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Oedipus anticipates the needs of his people. He appears to have his action plan all worked out before he throws himself into any interaction. For example, he is organized and practical in investigating the pestilence and King Laius' murder.

Tiresias, the blind prophet in Sophocles' "Oedipus Rex," exhibits a complex attitude toward Oedipus.
