How is Teiresias an antagonist in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That he seeks to enforce Oedipus' fate is a way in which Teiresias is an antagonist in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the term antagonist describes the main individual who thwarts the hero's deeds and helps turn the hero's life in an unfortunate direction. The description fits Teiresias the blind prophet. Teiresias is committed to Oedipus' fate as his father's killer, his mother's husband and his people's blinded exile.
