When does foreshadowing occur and what role does it play in Oedipus Rex?

The most obvious point is that Tiresias answered the whole mystery at the beginning. When Edpsus pushed him, he told the truth to Edips. The king wrote it as a trick designed by Kryon, but it encouraged him that he pursues the truth more strongly and brings about his own tragic end. And since the Greek audience already knows this story, it is worth considering that many lines become the prophets of the target audience of the show. Therefore, in the early days of the drama, Edips says the sinners will be punished and expelled. As they knew they were talking about themselves, this was a dramatic irony and premonition for Greek audiences.

The role of Teiresias in Sophocles' Oedipus Rex (King) Teiresias uses his spiritual ability to predict the pain and destruction experienced after understanding the truth of his life. Teiresias is also responsible for further developing blind themes by revealing his spiritual blindness to Oedipus with blindness in their bodies. After all, Teiresias knew the truth about Oedipus very well, so it was ultimately responsible for applying dramatic sarcasm. - Free will is an illusion as no one can escape fate. Even so despite trying to avoid a certain fate, humans surround it. This theory was emphasized in Sophocles' works such as "Oedipus the King" and "Antigone". Oedipus, Kryon, Antigone, Tiresias played an important role in the fight of truth and wisdom. Edepus tried to escape from the father's and mother's prophecies.

The role of the Kroon in the play "Antigone" is completely inconsistent with his role in "King Oedipus". In "Oedipus Rex", Klien knows his limits and is not carefully in the realm of God, but in "Antigone" he is very arrogant about his emotions and actions. Sophocles tried to prove that people's personality can change this quickly after being placed in the seat. Kryon shows that he does not have what he needs to become a good ruler. In "Oedipus Rex", Kryon played a very humble role, but "Antigone" made the same mistake as Oedipus. Kryon emphasized the quality of loyalty during his reign as king. He asked the elders of Thebes to follow in a very begging manner. In "Oedipus Rex", Kryon is a great person, a humble example, but he failed "Antigone". Sophocles said that Kryon made the same dramatic mistake as when Oedipus collapsed.
