Who do you think is the better leader Oedipus or Creon?
I personally think that Oedipus is a better leader because he was willing to exile himself to protect Thebes from the plague. Also, in Oedipus Rex, Creon discusses with Oedipus that he does not want to be king because he didn't want that responsibility; as long as Oedipus was king, he had all the privileges of royalty without having to worry about the politics of it.
Whom does the chorus leader claim can settle the dispute between Oedipus and Creon in 'Oedipus Rex'?
It is Jocasta that the chorus leader claims can settle the dispute between Oedipus and Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Creon cannot stop the argument that his brother-in-law Theban King Oedipus starts. The chorus leader cannot stop it either. But he is confident that Queen Jocasta, Creon's sister and Oedipus' conciliatory wife, can end it all.
What does Jocasta convince Oedipus to do to Creon in 'Oedipus Rex'?
There is nothing that Jocasta convinces Oedipus to do to Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus leader advises Creon and his brother-in-law Theban King Oedipus that they need to end their quarrel. He cautions that Queen Jocasta, Creon's sister and Oedipus' wife, will do it for them. But in fact, Jocasta contributes nothing to the quarrel's resolution. Instead, it is the chorus leader who manages to get Oedipus to back down from executing his brother-in-law.
What decision does the chorus leader persuade Oedipus to make regarding Creon in 'Oedipus Rex'?
To let him go is the decision that the chorus leader persuades Oedipus to made regarding Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus accuses his brother-in-law and royal colleague Creon of conspiring with Teiresias the blind prophet to grab all royal powers for themselves. Creon attempts to defend himself and even asks for the gods to punish him on the spot if he is lying in his defense. But Oedipus refuses to budge from his desire to have Creon executed until the chorus leader succeeds in getting Oedipus to let things drop.
Is Oedipus or Creon a better leader in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Oedipus is a better leader than Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus anticipates his people's needs by keeping informed of what goes on in his city. He keeps them informed by sharing with them what he will do and how he will do it. He makes himself accessible to his people. He takes immediate action against problems, such as the Sphinx, the pestilence and Laius' murder. He tends to follow proper procedure by consulting the Delphic oracle, eyewitnesses and Teiresias the blind prophet.

This is a treasonable charge to make. It automatically carries a punishment of death or exile. Theban Queen Jocasta, Oedipus' wife and Creon's sister, tries to talk her husband out of carrying through on this threat. She does not succeed, but the chorus leader as head of the Theban elders does get through.
