Whom does Creon advise Oedipus to send for in 'Oedipus Rex'?

It is no one that Creon advises Oedipus to send for in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, it is the chorus leader who advises Theban King Oedipus to send for Teiresias the blind prophet. It is Oedipus who advises Queen Jocasta to send for the Theban shepherd. Creon offers no such advice, but does suggest that Oedipus go consult with the Delphic oracle himself.

What is Creon's religion in 'Oedipus Rex' and 'Antigone'?

Polytheistic belief in Olympic gods is Creon's religion in the plays "Oedipus Rex" and "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the term polytheism describes the belief in many gods.

What should Creon do in the plays 'Oedipus Rex' and 'Antigone'?

Await the decision of the gods and Reverse his previous actions is what Creon respectively needs to do in "Oedipus Rex" and "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon has to decide what to do with disgraced King Oedipus. Oedipus is pushing for a decision that is not Creon's to make as to the form of punishment. Creon must await divine expression of whether to execute or exile Oedipus for criminal acts and immoral behavior.Subsequently, Creon needs to decide what to do with his niece Princess Antigone's breaking his law of non-burial and burying her brother Polyneices. Creon reacts in the wisest fashion if he honors the gods and Theban traditions by annulling his edict, burying Polyneices and pardoning Antigone.

How does Creon react when Oedipus asks to be accompanied by his children in exile in 'Oedipus Rex'?

Bureaucratically is the way in which Creon reacts when Oedipus asks to be accompanied by his children in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Creon favors following proper procedure. How disgraced Theban King Oedipus is to be punished must be decided by the gods. Creon therefore responds hurriedly, dismissively and bureaucratically to Oedipus' attempts to weight his punishment options toward exile with his daughters over execution or exile alone.


What is Oedipus' threat when he thinks that Creon is conspiring with Teiresias in 'Oedipus Rex'?

Death is his threat when Oedipus accuses Creon of conspiring with Teiresias in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus actually is within the limits of the reasonable in the range of his threats. Just the planned overthrow of a king is a serious offense against the gods and mortals, punishable by exile or execution. What is unreasonable is that the choice of which punishment to apply is up to the gods instead of Oedipus, that Creon is not respected in his attempts to defend himself, and that no one else finds the charges at all believable.
