Brave, confident, intelligent, and practical but deluded and rash is the kind of man that Oedipus is in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Oedipus acts bravely against the seemingly invincible Sphinx. He conveys confidence in his speeches to the priest of Zeus and the Theban suppliants. He evidences practicality in his hunt for the guilty in King Laius' murder. But at the same time, he manifests delusion in his mistaken self-image. He also shows rashness in his groundless, panic-stricken charges against his royal advisor, Teiresias the blind prophet, and his royal colleague, Creon.
