The exposition of "Oedipus Rex," a tragedy by Sophocles, introduces the audience to the city of Thebes, which is suffering from a plague. King Oedipus, determined to save his people, sends his brother-in-law Creon to the Oracle of Delphi to uncover the cause of the suffering. Through this setup, we learn about Oedipus's role as a ruler, his concern for his citizens, and the prophecy that foretells his tragic fate, establishing the central themes of fate, identity, and moral responsibility.
In the first scene of Sophocles' "Oedipus Rex," the priest provides crucial exposition by describing the dire state of Thebes, which is suffering from a plague. He explains that the city is afflicted by famine, disease, and death, prompting the citizens to seek help from their king, Oedipus. The priest emphasizes the desperation of the people and their hope that Oedipus, who previously saved them from the Sphinx, will again come to their rescue. This sets the stage for the unfolding tragedy as Oedipus vows to find a solution and uncover the truth behind their suffering.
It is the climax when Oedipus realizes that he is his father's killer and his mother's husband in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the term climax describes the turning point of highest drama and tension. The description fits Theban King Oedipus realizing that all the prophecies are true in regard to his predicted fate.
The exposition is the setting forth of the play. It comes from the Latin preposition 'ex' for 'out', and the Latin infinitive 'ponere' for 'to place'. That role is taken by one of the actors in the 1957 film version of 'Oedipus Rex' by Sir William Guthrie [July 2, 1900-May 15, 1971]. The actor holds his mask and wears blue robes while he explains the story. But nowhere within the film's credits or on the video jacket is that actor identified.

Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone
The exposition is a setting forth of the story. It literally means 'putting out'. The English word traces its roots back to the combination of the preposition 'ex', which means 'out'; and the infinitive 'ponere', which means 'to place'.In 'Oedipus Rex', the exposition begins at the play's very beginning, with Oedipus meeting the suppliants at the altar. It ends when the priest leads the Theban citizens off stage and the chorus arrives.In between the beginning and the end, the audience learns that Thebans are asking Theban King Oedipus to save their city from pestilence. The audience also learns that the pestilence is caused by a polluting stain. That stain only can be removed with the killer[s] of previous Theban King Laius being found and punished with execution or exile. The search thus far is hindered by a lack of witnesses other than the sole Survivor of Laius' royal party. According to the survivor, the search needs to be oriented towards tracking down a gang of robbers. Oedipus therefore fears a similar fate for himself and wants a general assembly of the Theban people to be called to start the search again in earnest.
