In Greek mythology, the gods are often depicted as being angry with the citizens of Thebes due to their hubris or failure to honor the divine. In the case of "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles, the anger is particularly directed towards King Oedipus for his tragic mistakes and his attempt to defy fate. The resulting plague and suffering in Thebes are seen as punishments from the gods for their moral and ethical transgressions. Ultimately, the citizens' plight serves as a reminder of the importance of reverence and humility before the divine.
