Teiresias is the person whom the chorus leader suggests as being able to help Oedipus locate the murderer's whereabouts in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet is the long-lived advisor to all of Thebes' kings from the time of the city's founding by Cadmus, first Theban king and Oedipus' great-great-grandfather. He is a storehouse of past, present and future knowledge through his own wisdom and through his skilled interpretation of ritual sacrifices. But he can share that expertise only if his presence is requested by the reigning king of Thebes. Otherwise, he must sit on his knowledge.
