A pair of eyes is the dominant image in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the pair of eyes can be the sightless sockets of wisdom of Teiresias the blind prophet. It may be the sighted sockets of ignorance of Theban King Oedipus. It segues into the gouged sockets of self-knowledge of a sadder, wiser Oedipus at the play's end. It ultimately turns into the blindfolded sockets of the relentless Furies of fate.
