Why is intelligence oedipus' flaw?
The most widely accepted interpretation is that Oedipus' flaw was not intelligence but rather hubris, or excessive pride. When he heard the prophecy of the fate the gods had in store for him, Oedipus attempted to escape this fate. In the ancient Greek mentality, this idea that a mere mortal could avoid the path the gods had determined he follow, is the ultimate statement of pride. The Greek gods were thought to be infallible, and by necessity anything they said of course would be inevitably true. Oedipus should not have been so proud as to think that he could go against the will of the gods. And so it is his attempt to avoid the fate laid out for him that led him straight to his prophesied end. If he had accepted the word of the gods and remained with his foster parents instead of traveling, he never would have met his father at a crossroads and killed him in a quarrel, nor would he have ever met, much less wedded, his biological mother.
Does Antigone have hubris or excess virtue that dooms her in 'Antigone'?
Yes, Antigone has hubris or excess virtue that dooms her in 'Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the term hubris describes an exaggerated sense of self worth, arrogance, pride. Theban Princess Antigone is arrogant in thinking that she can disrespect King Creon, the gods' earthly representative in Thebes. But at the same time, she may be said to have excess virtue because of her uncompromising love for her family and loyalty to the gods.
Why did the parents of Oedipus send him away to die?
To try to avoid the prophecy that said he was going to kill his father they all thought that they could avoid the prophesy of the oracle at Delphi. They put themselves above the gods in their desire to control their destinies, and that is the highest order of hubris. Oedipus's parents think they can avoid having their son kill his father by sending him away; later in life Oedipus thinks he can run away from his "father" to avoid killing him. In the end, the prophesy is completely fulfilled because there is no avoiding a prophesy of the gods.
