Jocasta
Oedipus realizes hat the prophecies have all come true.
One set of prophecies has to do with Theban King Oedipus' life. According to these prophecies, Oedipus will kill his own father and marry his own mother.Another set of prophecies has to do with Oedipus' downfall and death. According to these prophecies, Oedipus will become blind and end up being driven into exile.
No, Oedipus' realization that all the prophecies come true is not the inciting incident in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the inciting incident is the event that makes the story possible. Without it, there is no story. It occurs in the beginning of the play. In contrast, Oedipus' realization occurs at the end.
Apollo is a god of fire and light who gives prophecies to both Oedipus and Creon. His knowledge is absolute and are not considered as warnings.
That she seeks to comfort him and that she thinks that not all prophecies come true are reasons why Jocasta tells Oedipus to ignore the prophecies in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus admits that he is running scared from a prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother. Queen Jocasta appears to love Oedipus and tries to make him feel better. She believes that not all prophecies come true. She gives as an example the prophesied death of her first husband, King Laius, by their son. She indicates that the death instead takes place far away and at the hands of robbers.

It is the climax when Oedipus is convinced by the Theban shepherd of the truth of his identity and of the prophecies in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the term climax describes the turning point at which the dramatic tension and the emotional interest are at their highest levels. The term describes Theban King Oedipus' realization that the prophecies that he spends his adult life subverting come true anyways. Oedipus is at such an emotional bottom that the audience has its highest investment in what happens next.
