Apollo is to blame for what happens to Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Apollo the sun god receives the blame for Oedipus' personal and professional disgrace according to Teiresias the blind prophet and Theban King Oedipus. Oedipus concedes that he himself is to blame for blinding himself but that all his other misfortunes are due to miserable Apolline prophecies. But the audience also may direct the blame to Oedipus' biological parents for trying to kill him, the Corinthian and Theban shepherds for saving his life, the Corinthian monarchs for adopting him but not informing him of his true identity, and Oedipus' own poor decisions.

That one is set in ancient Greece and the other in Nigeria is the difference between "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) and "The Gods Are Not to Blame" by Ola Rotimi (b. April 13, 1938).Specifically, the ancient story of disgraced Theban King Oedipus is set in ancient Greece. He may have lived around the thirteenth century B.C.E. But the ancient Greek dramatist modernizes the story to fit in with his life as an educated Athenian transplant of the fifth century B.C.E. Rotimi updates Oedipus' story to modern times with his setting of the events in the Yoruba culture of Nigeria.
He blames you for his fate.
It is Apollo that Oedipus blames for all of his problems in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus commits murderous acts and immoral behavior that trip him up. Oedipus does the misdeeds without knowing the true identities of himself, his victim or his wife. He insists that the gods are to blame for meddling in human lives and that Apollo the sun god particularly is to blame as the god of prophecy. Oedipus maintains that he has no motive other than an understandable effort to do what he can to escape a horrible fate that nevertheless catches him up.

It is in blinding himself and accepting the blame for hisself-mutilation that Oedipus recognizes responsibility in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus blinds himself when he sees his personal and professional lives for what they are, as a criminal and an immoralist. He explains that but for one deed Apollo and his prophecies are to blame for the misdeeds of family life and royal rule. He in fact takes responsibility only for his self-inflicted blindness.
Yes, Oedipus blames the gods for all his actions - except blindness - in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus learns to his horror that he is his father's killer, his mother's husband, and his children's half-brother. The horror happens because Oedipus makes decisions based on a mistaken self-identity and image. He therefore blames the gods for a dreadful fate being fulfilled despite all his efforts to the contrary. He nevertheless accepts blame for one thing: his own self-blinding.
Yes because technicaly the definetion of technoloy it anything man made
Yes, Oedipus' actions are to blame for what happens in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the Delphic Oracle says that Oedipus will kill his father and marry his mother. Oedipus knows of rumors that he is not the biological son of the Corinthian monarchs whom he considers his parents. Yet he chooses to run away, kill a man who is an older version of himself, and marry a beautiful woman who is old enough to be his mother.Years later, the Apolline oracle says a pestilence afflicting Thebes will end with the identification and punishment of the guilty in the long unsolved murder of Laius, Oedipus' royal predecessor and first husband of Oedipus' wife. Oedipus promises to carry out the oracle-defined punishment of execution or exile. He then volunteers that he himself will apply that punishment to whomsoever helps or harbors the guilty.All of Oedipus' preceding actions ultimately lead to Oedipus' exile for the criminal offense of killing his father and his king and for the immoral offense of marrying and having children with his own mother.
What are the similarities between oedipus the king and the gods are not to blame
Oedipus himself as well as those who know of his true identity and keep silent are responsible for Oedipus' tragedy in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus is responsible for his downfall because of his murderous acts, passionate outbursts and secretive ways. But he operates at a disadvantage because of his mistaken self-image. Those who have but do not share information as to his true self-identity therefore share in the blame.
It is for the unsolved murder of King Laius that Oedipus blames the chorus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus finds out that he can end the pestilence in Thebes only by identifying and punishing the guilty in King Laius' murder. He looks first to the chorus for clues and information. But he makes it clear that he is cleaning up after them for not getting their jobs done right in the first place.
