“Who rank myself as Fortune 's favorite child,
The giver of good gifts, shall not be shamed.
She is my mother and the changing moons
My brethren, and with them I wax and wane.
Thus sprung why should I fear to trace my birth?
Nothing can make me other than I am” (Sophocles, 1077-1086). While it is unsafe for Oedipus not to review the predictions of his childhood and look to the past for course, digging into the past with a specific end goal to facilitate comprehend his character is comparably dangerous. He is, it appears to be, stuck in a sticky situation. This train of thought naturally concludes, though Sophocles tried to claim the same thing - that the ancient myth, which he reproduced on the stage as if the playwright was not brought to the ancient myth, was nothing substantively new.

He loses the presumptuous mental self-portrait as a divine being that permitted him to offer himself in reply to petition, and is profoundly lowered. He changes his comprehension of his name from an announcement of scholarly quality to an announcement of physical shortcoming and, through the self-blinding, changes his cover (Griffith,
