It is as the wisest of men that the priest describes Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the priest of Zeus characterizes Theban King Oedipus as the savior of Thebes. He describes Oedipus as divinely favored in wisdom. He gives an example Oedipus' defeat of the seemingly invincible Sphinx.

The importance of following proper procedure is what today's leaders can learn from Oedipus' example in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus' tragedy derives in part from not following proper procedure. For example, he gets a disturbing prophecy that affects him and his family and runs away instead of sharing. He kills five people on the way to Thebes, where he marries a widowed queen. He neglects proper procedure by not carrying out cleansing rituals for his crimes and the death of his wife's first husband. The inattention to proper procedure ultimately trips Oedipus up because the gods become angry and send a pestilence to Thebes. Oedipus' example underscores the importance of doing what it supposed to be done when it needs to be done.
