naive newbies. Bring out the old idea and present it as a new invention. For example‚ many things in Visual Studio .Net are presented as new ideas even though they have existed in RAD tools like Delphi for over a decade.

When the prophecy says that he will kill his father and lay with his mother he tells Jocasta that he “fled to somewhere where I should not see fulfilled the infamies told in that dreadful oracle”(796-798). Out of context this reaction is quite reasonable‚ but we must remember that the reason Oedipus goes to Delphi in the first place is because he is led to doubt

The Actions of a King The most obvious argument in the whole drama would be the question of Oedipus’ choice in the events that happened in his life. Did the oracle of Delphi manage to dictate the outcome of his life simply by relaying the prophecy to the characters involved?

things like defying the will of the gods and even apostasy‚ the true conflict lies in the level of trust the chorus has with Oedipus and Tiresias’ arguments‚ respectively. Tiresias has the backing of the gods‚ seeing as he is a famed prophet from Delphi. Oedipus‚ however‚ has the respect and admiration of his people‚ for he was the one who conquered the Sphinx and saved Thebes.
