The Role of Fate in Greek History

Greeks strongly believe in themselves, retaliatory justice and the ability to see things as a whole. They also arrange social life to give them the greatest freedom; freedom forms political, religious domination. They have a strong belief in freedom but they are always confident in their fate and usually consult the gods about their fate so that they can live according to their own destiny. Fate is an unavoidable power to control human life. Before Edips was born, I was destined to "kill my father and mate with my mother".

The fate of Aeneid's destiny in the ancient Greek and Roman world is one of the immutable powers that surpass God even in supernatural power classes. The Greeks and the Romans believed that fate was three ancient women, together with the net of fate. Everyone's life is a clue, fate draws it and cuts it out as you think is appropriate. Even though they have gold lines, God must obey fate. Destiny plays a very important role in Virgil's epic "Aneid".

Fate and freedom will play an essential role in the life of the edepus. In Oedipus, Sophocles pointed out the beliefs of ancient Greeks. Even if one had will and choice, his fate could not escape. Human freedom will eventually win. But is Oedipus a victim of inevitable destiny, or is he creating his own fate through free will? Oedipus like Laid and Jocasta tried to escape from his fate by action. Laius tried to escape fate by trying to kill a child who tried to kill him but did not succeed. Edips had tried to escape from Collins and tried to escape from Corinth. Because God said that his mother was "fit" and his father was "kill". Fear believes the god who fled to escape it, of course. But by doing this, he did not realize that he actually took a step toward his own destruction.

One of the central controversies in human history is fate and free will. For example, most ancient Greek myths have sent clear messages: you have no final choice and fate always prevails. Recalling the poor Oedipus, he tried to avoid the prophecy that he would marry his mother to kill his father and make everything come true. As Abraham negotiates conditions that Sodom and Gomorra may be saved, people even negotiate with God to win. He reduced God 's deal from 50 to just 10 people. Christianity continues this debate in history and history.
