The interaction between Oedipus and the priest is the initial incident in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the play begins with the priest of Zeus and suppliants gathered outside the main entrance of the Theban royal palace. They have altars set up in the clearing. Then Theban King Oedipus, ever attentive to his people's needs, leaves the palace and seeks to find out what needs to be done.
No, Oedipus' realization that all the prophecies come true is not the inciting incident in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the inciting incident is the event that makes the story possible. Without it, there is no story. It occurs in the beginning of the play. In contrast, Oedipus' realization occurs at the end.
"Rex" is Latin for "King". Oedipus Rex means "Oedipus the King".
Thebes is the setting of Oedipus Rex because it is the place where the story begins.
'King' is an English equivalent of 'Rex' in the play 'Oedipus Rex'.
The pestilence is the inciting incident in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the inciting incident describes the event that triggers all subsequent happenings in the play. It therefore is the pestilence with which Oedipus, the priest of Zeus and the suppliants are concerned when the play opens. The characters spend the rest of the play finding the cause and carrying out the solution to bad harvests, declining populations and dying livestock. Without the inciting incident of the pestilence, there in fact will be no story.
