I personally think that Oedipus is a better leader because he was willing to exile himself to protect Thebes from the plague. Also, in Oedipus Rex, Creon discusses with Oedipus that he does not want to be king because he didn't want that responsibility; as long as Oedipus was king, he had all the privileges of royalty without having to worry about the politics of it.
It helps establish Creon as a foil for Oedipus, thus highlighting Oedipus's tendency not to think before he speaks.
Revenge on Laius' killer, who is Oedipus, but nobody knows at the time.
That Creon is a team member who controlshis emotions and goes by the book and that Oedipus is a leader who runs with his emotions and cravesimmediate results are the main ways in which Creon and Oedipus are different in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus is treated by his people as though he rules alone even though he actually shares power with his wife, Queen Jocasta, and with his brother-in-law, Creon. Because he is so caught up with his life and that of his city, Oedipus tends to think on his feet and give way to rash acts and passionate outbursts. In contrast, Creon sees himself as part of a team and therefore tries to follow proper procedure, find common ground and defuse conflict.
I don't understand Oedipus... Do you? No one will understand it! You are not the only one :)

Oedipus believed that Creon and Teiresias were trying to frame him for the purpose of taking the throne. Oedipus the King was written by Sophocles.
Oedipus initially believes that Creon is framing him for Laius's murder, suspecting Creon of wanting to usurp the throne.

That he is being accused of treasonous conspiracy is the reason why Creon confronts Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet accuses Theban King Oedipus of being King Laius' murderer. Oedipus can think of no reason other than his overthrow as to why such seemingly groundless accusations are being made. He promptly and groundlessly charges Teiresias with conspiring with Creon to grab all royal powers for themselves. Creon hears of Oedipus' charges and seeks to sort out the misunderstanding, which otherwise can end in his execution or exile.
Recklessness is a character trait revealed by Oedipus' accusation against Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, recklessness shows an unconcern or disregard for human life. The description fits Theban King Oedipus when he chooses to disregard Creon's track record. Creon does what Oedipus tells him to do and behaves as though he has no interest in grabbing all the royal powers for himself. But Oedipus claims just that when he hears upsetting, treacherous charges from Teiresias the blind prophet. He can only think that he is being framed for murder so that Teiresias and Creon, who stand to gain with Oedipus' overthrow, can take over.
because she is the wife of oedipus and the brother of creon
Theban King Oedipus thinks that Theban King Creon and Teiresias the blind prophet conspire to overthrow him. Teiresias blames him for the death of the previous sovereign, Theban King Laius. Oedipus thinks that Teiresias isn't telling the truth. Instead, he thinks that Teiresias is saying what Creon wants him to, in order to discredit Oedipus and seize the royal powers for himself.
At the end of Part 1, Oedipus Is afraid that he has killed his father and had 4 children with his mother. Do you think this will turn out to be true? Or do you think the prophet Is wrong?
