Physical and symbol blindness are the kinds of blindness in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, physical blindness is evidenced in the actual blindness of Teiresisas the blind prophet. Symbolic blindness is found in the cluelessness of Theban King Oedipus. Oedipus suffers from a mistaken self-image that causes him not to recognize the truths that are staring him in the face.
