That they reject it without further evidence is the chorus' view of Teiresias' accusations against Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus praises the wisdom of Apollo the sun god and Zeus the chief god. They mention the lesser wisdom of prophets such as Teiresias. They therefore do not accept Teiresias' charges that Oedipus is the very killer that all Thebes seek and that the gods want punished.
That he serves a god not a king is the reason why Teiresias is not afraid of Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet carries the total knowledge of Thebes' past, present and future within his person. He is gifted at interpreting divine will through ritual sacrifice and in interpreting events. He serves Apollo the god of prophecy, not Oedipus the king of Thebes.
Bully, insult, malign and reject is what Oedipus does to Teiresias in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus bullies Teiresias into saying what only serves to upset him and his quick temper. He insults Teiresias by calling him a criminal, a fake and a liar. He rejects what Teiresias says and dismisses him unceremoniously. He sustains his anger by maligning Teiresias to the chorus leader, Creon, and Jocasta.
A blind prophet who warns of perils ahead in Odysseus' attempt to get back home is who Teiresias is in "The Odyssey" by Homer (fl. sometime between 12th and 9th centuries B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias is the long-lived, blind seer who serves all Theban kings since the founding of Thebes by Cadmus, first king and grandson of the sea god Poseidon. He is dead by the end of the Trojan War and lives out the afterlife in the Underworld. Odysseus visits him there to anticipate challenges in his attempt to get back to his wife Penelope. Teiresias particularly warns Odysseus against eating the cattle of the sun god Helios. But when Odysseus subsequently lands on the sun god's sacred island of Thrinacia, his men disobey, his ship is destroyed by Zeus' lightning bolt, and all of his men are killed.
That Teiresias is a participant if not the perpetrator of Laius' murder is the way in which Oedipus feels when Teiresias does not give him the desired information in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus asks Teiresias the blind prophet for help in identifying King Laius' killer. Teiresias begs to leave. Oedipus decides that Teiresias himself must be involved in the killing.

It depends which god you are referring to.
When God says "us," he is referring to the Holy Trinity, which consists of God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit.
In "The Odyssey," the blind prophet Teiresias predicts several key events for Odysseus. He warns Odysseus of the challenges he will face on his journey home, including the dangers posed by the Sirens, Scylla, and Charybdis. Teiresias also foretells that Odysseus will eventually reclaim his home and family, but only after he makes sacrifices to the god Poseidon for the troubles he caused. Furthermore, he advises Odysseus to avoid harming the cattle of the Sun god, Helios, to ensure a safe return.
It depends which god you are referring to.
This depends on the "god" you are referring to. If you are referring to the Alpha, the Omega, the Creator of All Beings, then there isn't a sin that God has committed.
Which choice of God's are you referring to?

If you are referring to the burning bush in the story of Moses that said "I am who I am." That is God.
Circe warned Odysseus to avoid the island of Thrinacia where the cattle of the sun god Helios grazed, as harming the cattle would bring destruction to his crew. Teiresias warned Odysseus not to harm the cattle and advised him to make amends to Poseidon after returning home to Ithaca.
It is correct grammar to use "God" if the word is assigned as a name or a proper noun. The word "god" is used when referring to a generic deity.
