Find and punish the guilty in Laius' murder and bury Polyneices and free Antigone are what respectively will lift the pestilence in Thebes in "Oedipus Rex" and "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, a pestilence afflicts Thebes by the last day of Theban King Oedipus' rule. The Delphic oracle announces that the pestilence will end only with the identification and punishment by execution or exile of the guilty in King Laius' murder. That pestilence is ended, but succeeded by another during the last day of King Creon's rule. Teiresias the blind prophet states that the pestilence will end only with the burial of Polyneices' body and the release of Princess Antigone from her live burial.
Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone
That he is the city's savior is the reason why Oedipus remains important to Thebes in "Oedipus Rex," "Oedipus at Colonus" and "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Oedipus becomes the disgraced King of Thebes. But he cannot be dismissed or ignored historically. He rescues the city from the monstrous Sphinx and from a pestilence of ailing livestock, dying children and failing crops.
Yes, there is a pestilence in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the play begins with Theban King Oedipus and all Thebes trying to figure out what causes and what ends the pestilence. Oedipus gets the news from the Delphic oracle on how to end the pestilence. By the end of the play, Oedipus knows that the pestilence will end even though he loses his friends, his home, his job and his sight in the process.
Antigone is a young girl in Oedipus and she has no lines. It is not until Oedipus at Colonus that her character begins to develop.
That she is a child who suffers but who is not known to do great things is the reason why Antigone is not the tragic hero of the play "Oedipus Rex."Specifically, a person who is tragic meets with a bad end. A person who is heroic is capable of doing great deeds. The job description matches Antigone's father, Theban King Oedipus, in the play "Oedipus Rex" and herself in the play "Antigone".
Oedipus and Creon respectively end the pestilence in Thebes in "Oedipus Rex" and "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus ends the pestilence. He finds the guilty in King Laius' murder. It is the Delphic oracle that advises Oedipus as to the cause and solution of the pestilence. But it is Teiresias the blind prophet who advises Oedipus' successor, King Creon. In this case, Creon must bury the body of his nephew Polyneices and free his niece Antigone from her live burial.
