Oedipus Rex Qualities
My outlook is that Oedipus was a great leader. He seemed to be an authentic caring person. Oedipus was a man of swift action and great insight. He was a leader because he answered the riddle and eradicated the monster that had plagued the citizens of Thebes. By being the only one who could solve the riddle he established himself as a leader of the people, a defender of the people. This is why they had great trust in him and pursued help from him when their King was killed. Save for the fact that Oedipus himself was the killer, he did not know this, so his reaction to the cries for help was noble and exemplary of a leader. When he heard that their king was murdered, he zealously promised to chase down the murderer and discipline him. He cared

    Odysseus was a man who was known for both his good and bad leadership qualities. Homer, the blind poet and the author of ‘the Odysseus’ has portrayed Odysseus as an ambiguous character. However, in my opinion and in this argument Odysseus have more good leadership qualities than bad leadership qualities. Throughout this epic, readers can see that Odysseus made many leadership decisions and took actions when it should be made. He was intelligent, fair and fearless. Many incidents in Homer’s epic, points out his intelligence, fairness and fearlessness throughout their journey.…

    Oedipus ascended the throne of Thebes; as to many years ago he had solved the riddle of the Sphinx, saved the city of Thebes and was welcomed as King. We see that this quality makes him an excellent ruler who anticipates his subjects’ needs. Taking up the responsibility of being a king by serving the citizens, Oedipus is adequate to the challenge, believing he can purge the land. Oedipus the King is a character that tempts fate, thinks he can change fate as a man who…

    Odysseus: A Bad Leader

    • 432 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The Odyssey translated by Robert Fagles is about Odysseus who is the king of Ithaca and his troubles with the Greek gods. Odysseus may be a good king but he is certainly not a very good leader when it comes to long journeys and battles. He made it home to Ithica but not without a lot of struggles and bad decisions. Odysseus’ selfishness, anger, and stubbornness were a part of his not too great leadership throughout the Odyssey. He did not protect his men very well. A leader needs to also be a team player and Odysseus did not show that quality at all. He would always do something that was not trustworthy. One minute he might have done something to show that he could be trusted but then the next minute he word do something dumb and ruin the trust of his men.…

    People read literature because it teaches about humanity, both the positives and negatives. Sometimes, they learn more from reading about the mistakes and flaws of characters. Oedipus Rex is one of these characters, flawed even though he thinks he is divine. According to Bernard Knox, “these attributes of divinity – knowledge, certainty, justice – are all qualities Oedipus thought he possessed – and that is why he was the perfect example of the inadequacy of human knowledge, certainty, and justice.” In Sophocles’ tragedy Oedipus Rex, Oedipus’s untimely fall is caused by his false certainty of knowledge, his rash actions done without that certainty, and his injustice toward those trying to warn him.…

    In the play Oedipus Rex by Sophocles (rpt. in James P. Place, Literature: A reader for Freshman Composition II, 1st ed. [Boston: Pearson, 2011] 122-168), the oracles had prophesied that Oedipus would kill his father and beget children by his mother. Oedipus does not want to do the things that Apollo predicted; he is no puppet, but indeed the controller of his own fate. Oedipus was unwilling to have his fate come true; he was frightened that he would kill his adopted parents. He believes they were his real parents, therefore he left to Thebes. The decision he made was based on the stories he heard. This led to Oedipus’s own downfall.…

    Generally I think Odysseus is a good leader because he saves his men more times than he lets them get killed, for example on the island with Polythemus. He thought of a cunning plan to get most of his men out of the cave they were trapped in.…

    Oedipus the King

    • 3 Pages

    In the polis of Thebes, Oedipus was the not only the king but he was also the hero of the community. The security and health of the community depended on him and he was expected to meet every urgent crisis with a plausible solution. He was celebrated for acting decisively and making decisions and then acting on them. With all his past accomplishments and achievements, Oedipus developed a strong sense of confidence, which fueled his over inflated ego. Unfortunately, when circumstances did not turn out in his favor, such as in his conflict with Tiresias the blind prophet, Oedipus became rigid and refused to see the problem on any one else’s terms except his own. Oedipus only wanted things to go the way he thought they should go. Whatever stood in his way he tried to overcome publicly and without any compromise from the opposing party, which was illustrated in his argument in front of the palace with Creon over the murder of the former King Laius. Ultimately his attitude of confidence with no compromises contributed to his disastrous and sad end. In most cases, intelligence and diligence are valuable traits to possess, but for Oedipus they contributed to his eventual downfall. Oedipus was known for being extremely intelligent and was very talented at solving riddles. To earn the right to be King of Thebes, Oedipus solved a riddle, which as a result…

    I think that Oedipus was great leader and king compared to modern politician. Oedipus has proven to be a good leader. He had ruled the country for 15 years and solved many problem that people in the Thebes had. He cared about his people and their problems. Once Oedipus realized that his kingdom is facing a big problem, he quickly took action and started trying to fix the problems. Oedipus sent his brother in law, Creon to find out what causes the problem and sent Tiresias along for help. This is a one of the value of being a good leader; getting the things done as soon as possible and another quality is that he is open to his people. That shows when Creon and Tiresias came back and asked him if they can speak to him privately and he refused…

    Oedipus Personality

    Oedipus’ hot temper was a major factor in his undoing. On many occasions, his quick bursts of fury backfired on him. For instance, when Tiresias keeps refusing to reveal the identity of the killer to Oedipus, Oedipus becomes aggravated. “‘You won’t talk? Nothing moves you? Out with it once and for all!’” (Fagles 276). The king’s prodding got under Tiresias’ skin, and Tiresias releases the truth. Oedipus is quick to deny the prophecy, but if not for Oedipus’ hasty temper the awful truth wouldn’t have been forced to the surface. Additionally, Oedipus accuses Tiresias of conspiring with Creon against him. “...‘I have such fury in me’…‘You helped hatch the plot, you did the work, yes, short of killing him’…” (Fagles 276). This creates a divide between the two lords, causing even more conflict. Ultimately,…
