|
|
The story of Oedipus the King was told in the play by Sophocles written about 430 B. ... When he was grown, by chance Oedipus heard that he was not Polybuss son, and he went to Delphi to learn the truth. ... The man prodded him with his stick and Oedipus, arrogant and quick to anger, slew him and three of the attendants. ... " Oedipus solved the riddle and the Sphinx hurled herself to her death on the rocks below. Oedipus was welcomed as a savior of the city and he was offered the vacant throne. ... Oedipus dedicated himself to solve the mystery of the murder and thereby rid the city of its curse. As Oedipus is in search, he first calls upon the old blind prophet Tiresias who claims that Oedipus is the murderer of King Laius. Oedipus rejects this and sends Tiresias away. Oedipus calls upon a shepherd who was once a servant. This shepherd was the servant who took Oedipus when he was a baby to the mountains to die. The shepherd tells Oedipus after trying to keep quiet that he was the child of King Laius and Jocasta. Realizing who he is, Oedipus screams that he sees the truth and flees back into the palace. ... Jocasta has hanged herself, and Oedipus, finding her dead, has pulled the pins from her robe and stabbed out his own eyes. Oedipus now emerges from the palace, bleeding and begging to be exiled. ...
The story of Job starts off describing who Job is.
