Oedipus

Edipus play 'Edipus King' begins with Thebes, Reus and Jocasta 's king and queen. Lyus is warned by God that his son will kill him, and he will marry his mother Jokasta. Rias reversed their destiny, pierced the feet of his newly born son, decided to join, and ordered his servant to take him away and die the child on the Citear hill. However, the servant was very dissatisfied with the baby and handed him to the shepherd. And the shepherd handed the child to Polibus king of Corinth next door.

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.

Antigone - a child of Oedipus and Jocasta, and therefore the daughter of Oedipus and his sister. Antigone appeared at the end of King Oedipus and when she was preparing to exile Oedipus, she bid farewell to her father. She looks long in Coroda's Edps and takes care of her blind father during exile. But Antigone also applies to Antigone. As the protagonist of the show, she showed the courage and clarity that it can not match any other character in Theban's play. Other characters - Oedipus, Kryon, Polynesia - do not want to admit the results of their actions, but Antigone firmly believes that he did the right thing.
