One of the reasons Oedipus should seek out the murderer?

Oedipus, as the king of Thebes, wants to seek out the murderer in order to eradicate the pollution that has overtaken Thebes. The Greeks believed that by bringing the murderer to justice, the God's will no longer be offended by the crime of murder, and prosperity will return to Thebes. It is ironic that Oedipus wants to seek out the murderer, because Oedipus is the murderer himself.


What paraphrases Creon's response when Oedipus asks to bring his children?

You are no longer able to have things your own way; the children will remain in ThebesYou are no longer able to have things your own way; the children will remain in Thebes.


How do you describe Oedipus' patriotism in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That he anticipates his city's needs, that he calls it "my city," and that he prefers to be exiled to its outskirts are ways of describing Oedipus' patriotism in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus does not need to be told about the current pestilence, against which he has a plan of action already in place. He gets helpful information from the Delphic oracle and from key information sources within the city. He heads the investigation that will end the pestilence before it ends Thebes. He refers to Thebes as "my city" even though he assumes himself to be Corinthian born and bred. With his downfall, he wishes to spend the rest of his miserable life in the mountains just outside the beloved city that he no longer can see.


What are the setting and the timespan of 'Antigone'?

Thebes on the day after the end of the recent civil warare the setting and time span of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Sophocles respects the ancient Greek guideline of the unity of time, plot and place in drama. That guideline demands the presentation and resolution of a problem within the confines of one place in no longer than a 24-hour period. All onstage action in fact takes place in front of the main entrance to the royal palace of Thebes even though the dialogue may refer to offstage events taking place elsewhere. The temporal setting is identified during the opening scene as the day following the end of the recent civil war over the royal succession.


How does Creon justify his refusal to grant Polynices a proper burial?

That what one does in life carries over into death is the justification that Theban King Creon gives for refusing proper burial procedures to his own nephew Polyneices. Specifically, Creon sees Polyneices as a traitor to Thebes and therefore as no longer Theban or eligible for Theban rights. It's actually a call that Creon doesn't get to make, since a Theban's rights to proper funerals are god-given.
