That two men do not die in the way described by the prophecies is the argument that Jocasta uses to persuade Oedipus to ignore soothsayers and oracles in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, a prophecy warns that Theban King Laius will be killed by his own son. But Theban Queen Jocasta, Laius' widow and Oedipus' wife, points out that her first husband dies at the hands of strangers and robbers in Phocis. Then she brings up Corinthian King Polybus, who also is supposed to die at the hands of his son, Oedipus. But once again, Jocasta points out that the Corinthian monarch dies of illness and old age.
He blinds himself with Jocasta's brooch.
That not all prophecies come true and that prophets make mistakes are what Jocasta believes about prophecy in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta says that the gods are clear to understand when they have something to say. The problem is the intervening role of prophets between gods and mortals. Jocasta says that prophets are not gods and can make mistakes and that some prophecies therefore do not come true.
When Jocasta finds out that Oedipus is the murderer of Lauis and her son. I believe this is the climax because after it all the falling action occurs. Jocasta hanging herself, Oedipus blinding himself and exiling himself. As well as a few other events.
Jocasta is Oedipus' mother and wife and queen of Thebes.
Jocasta believes that soothsayers cannot accurately predict the future and that their prophecies are not to be trusted. She dismisses the idea of fate and believes that people have the power to shape their own destinies.
