Who was the narrator in 'Oedipus the King'?

Answer 1

The chorus is the narrator in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, the narrator tells the story. The play is made up of conversations between the characters, comments between the characters and the chorus leader, commentaries by the chorus, and announcements by messengers. What cements the disparate actions and words are the narrative observations and summaries by which the chorus describes cultural events and happenings elsewhere, explains the significance of events, and interprets the characters and the gods.
