Teiresias is the blind prophet in the play "Oedipus Rex."Specifically, Teiresias is called to help Theban King Oedipus find the murderer or murderers of Theban King Laius. Teiresias is reluctant to cooperate in the investigation. The audience soon realizes that the reluctance stems from the fact that Teiresias alone in Thebes knows the identity of the murderer.
Observing the audience helps you understand the relationship between the audience and performers because, the way the people react to the actors shows their respect for them.
Oedipus' impatience or Teiresias' reluctance or increasing old age may explain Teiresias' delay in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.). Specifically, the audience does not know that Teiresias' arrival really is delayed. It is Theban King Oedipus who says that the blind prophet already should be at the palace as he speaks. But then he says the same thing previously about Creon's arrival time from consulting the Apolline oracle. If Oedipus is correct in the delay, it is possible that Teiresias procrastinates because he knows that what he is going to say will be considered treasonous by his king. It also may be possible that Teiresias' age is catching up with him. He is the advisor to all of Thebes' kings since the time of the city's founding four generations before the current. He is dead by the time of Oedipus' grandson Thersander so he is getting on in age.
That Creon recommends Teiresias' presence and that Teiresias is late are what Oedipus says about summoning Teiresias in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon asks the chorus leader for help in finding the guilty in King Laius' murder. The chorus leader mentions Teiresias the blind prophet as a valuable information source. Oedipus says that Teiresias' presence already is requested due to Creon's prior recommendation. He also states that Teiresias still is not there despite the sending of two messengers.That he is late is what Oedipus says about summoning Teiresias in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus leader advises Theban King Oedipus to consult with Teiresias the blind prophet on finding the guilty in King Laius' murder. Oedipus answers that two messengers already have been sent to Teiresias' residence. He indicates that Teiresias already should have been at the palace by now.
It is because he thinks that they conspire against himthat Oedipus is angry with Creon and Teiresias in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet accuses Theban King Oedipus of killing King Laius. Oedipus cannot understand how he can be the killer of someone whom he never remembers meeting. The charge carries a punishment of execution or exile. Oedipus therefore concludes that Teiresias is conspiring with Creon to grab all royal powers to themselves.
