Why are the gods so nasty to Oedipus in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That the gods disdain mortals as poor relatives, that they curse the royal house of Thebes and that they are angry that Oedipus does not follow proper procedure are the reasons why the gods are so nasty to Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, gods and mortals descend from Gaia, the original mother goddess. But the gods are eternal, do not like to share, and look down on mortals as poor relatives. Additionally, they seek to destroy the royal house of Thebes even though the city's founding king Cadmus is the grandson of one of their own, Poseidon the sea god. Furthermore, it does not help Oedipus' case that he disrespects the gods by neglecting mandatory purification procedures after killing five people and trying to escape an unenviable fate.
