How does sophocles connect the parados to scene 1?
The parados is the first participation of the chorus in the action of an ancient Greek play. In 'Oedipus Rex', it's connected structurally by the physical location of all of the main characters in front of Theban King Oedipus' royal palace. It's connected politically by the relationship of a king to all of his subjects, and most particularly to the city's elders of which a chorus may be made up. And it's connected in literary terms by the references of Oedipus' people to him as the wise savior of their city.
