LYCOS RETRIEVER 
Oedipus: King Creon
built 626 days ago
Oedipus was a decent ruler who cared deeply for his people. Unsure of what to do, he sent Creon, brother of Jocosta, to ask the oracle of Delphi as to the cause of the plague, and how to eliminate it. Oedipus told the crowd that Creon was late returning, but as soon as he got back, Oedipus promised to do whatever the oracle said.

What suspicion does Oedipus begin to harbor about Creon (385-389)? What superiority does Oedipus claim over Teiresias (390-398)? Note the frequent equation of physical sight with knowledge throughout this scene and the rest of the play. What is the irony of this equation? Teiresias then tells Oedipus the horrible truth about himself (413-425). What does Teiresias predict will happen to Oedipus (417-423; 452-460)?

When Oedipus went into exile, as a blind wanderer, Creon, Oedipus' uncle and brother-in-law became regent, while Eteocles and Polyneices were still too young to rule. It was decided that they would shared the power, each brother would rule in alternate year. Eteocles ruled first but decided not to relinquish power to his brother, when his first term had ended. A bitter feud resulted between the two, which found Polyneices found himself unsupported and in exile.

What reasons does Oedipus give for his self-blinding (1369-1385)? How does Oedipus feel about Creon at this point (1419-1421)? What requests does Oedipus make of Creon (1436-1437;1446-1467)? What future does Oedipus foresee for his two daughters (1489-1502)? What important truth about his life does Creon point out to Oedipus (1522-1523)? What general lesson does the Chorus draw from the example of Oedipus's life (1524-1530)?

Even after all this, Oedipus doesn't learn his lesson -- that he can't be in control. Even after he's renounced the throne, he continues to try to exert control over Creon and his daughters' destiny; first by asking Creon to adopt them so they'll have a legitimate and normal genealogy, and then (in contradiction to what he has already asked) by asking that his children not be taken from him. Oedipus, a man smart enough to know the answer to the riddle of the sphinx, is tragically incapable of learning from his mistakes.

In Sophocles' Oedipus at Colonus, Oedipus becomes a wanderer, pursued by Creon and his men. He finally finds refuge at the holy wilderness right outside of Athens, where it is said that Theseus took care of him and his daughter, Antigone. He died a peaceful death and his grave is said to be sacred to the gods.
