The blind prophet is typically associated with Tiresias, a figure from Greek mythology and literature. He is renowned for his prophetic abilities, despite being blind, and appears in various works, including Sophocles' "Oedipus Rex" and "Antigone." Tiresias serves as a key figure who offers insight and guidance, often revealing truths that others cannot see, both literally and metaphorically.

Teiresias is very influential in 'Antigone'. He's a blind prophet. That he's blind means that he isn't distracted by what he sees with his eyes. Appearances indeed are deceiving. That he's a prophet means that he's considered special among mortals for his knowledge of the future. As with oracles, he almost is seen as an intermediary between the gods and mortals.
