King Oedipus

Sophocles' blind king Oedipus was the depravity of the protagonist Oedipus of the Sophocles play "Oedipus the King". Blindness is not only revealed in the body but also implicit as it refuses to admit that he himself is the murderer of Thebes. Coincidentally, he is also a biological father of Oedipus. To better understand the feelings within the character, the use of light and darkness in the drama is strategically applied. Because Lieus is responsible for the killing of Edips, he hid herself in the reality that he could become a murderer.

Theban drama consists of three theaters: colonial Oedipus Rex (aka King Oedipus or Oedipus), Oedipus and Antigone. All three theatricalities are related to the fate of Thebes who is under the rule of King Ephesus and thereafter. They are often posted on the cover page. However, Sophocles wrote three plays for various festivals that were many years away. Theban is not just a true trilogy (three dramas as a continuous story), they are not intentional series, there are some contradictions between them. He also wrote other play related to the Thebe like Epigoni where only the fragments survived

Oedipus - The hero of King Oedipus and Oedipus of Cologne. Before the action of King Edpses began, Edips was king of Thebes. He is known for his ability to solve wisdom and mystery - he rescued the town of Tabe and became king by solving the mystery of Sphinx. However, Edips had stubbornly turned his attention to his truth. The literal meaning of his name ("swollen foot") is a clue to his identity - he was taken away from the house of Lyus as a baby, and his feet were on the hill. On his way to Thebes, he killed his biological father, he did not know who he was, and began marrying his biological mother Jocasta.

Tiresias - Thebes' blind fortune teller Tiresias has appeared in Oedipus and Antigone. In the King of Oedipus, Tiresias told Oedipus that he was a murderer of hunting, Oedipus did not believe him. In Antigone, Tiresias told Creon that Creon himself was bringing disasters to Thebes, and Creon did not believe him. However, both Oedipus and Kryon claim to be convinced of Tiresia. The literal expression of the prophet refers to the figurative blindness of those who refuse to believe the truth when spoken.
