And that out of this vault has come the precious things from Heaven that He wants to send out to the entire world.

While reading the Life of Saint Benedict, I found this account of Saint Benedicts life to be told in a biased and elevated way. The content is very questionable especially with a dragon reference. There were over 30 different occasions where Gregory claimed Saint Benedict preformed a miracle or prophesied. One correlation I observed with the miracle and prophesy accounts is that it is very similar to miracles performed by Jesus, there were also times I thought he was thought to have more…

that will most likely cause their downfall. Sophocles foreshadows Oedipus’ future using the motif of sight and blindness through prophecies and through the character Tiresias to show his point.

erroneously attempted to disregard the prophecy—the sole aspect of fate leading the plot—and avoid their own foretold demise. Jocasta, being the only surviving parent, is able to demonstrate to the audience how misguided they were to revolt against this outcome. Unlike Oedipus, however, Jocasta is not lead by the words of Tiresias. She states that “whate’er the God deems fit...himself unaided will reveal”, restathat unless told from God himself, a prophecy cannot be true. Under this false…

is still widely debated today, as some believe him to have predicted many terrible events of the last few centuries when he only lived in the sixteenth century.
