However, when that did not succeed then he married Glance so he could be king in Corinth. Jason never loved either of the women, while Medea and perhaps even Glance loved him unconditionally. Both the works were set in a time where marriages were arranged and both Othello and Medea chose their mate and end up either killing them or someone…

The book of Romans was written by the Apostle Paul while on his third missionary journey. Paul, at the time, had not been to Rome nor visited the believers there. This is why the theme of the whole book of Romans is the basic gospel, or Paul describing God’s plan, for all humankind, the way to accept salvation and righteousness. Because Paul had not yet visited Rome personally, he chose to write this epistle, also known as a letter, to the people preparing both himself and them for the reasons…

Oedipus Rex is a chaotic play written by Sophocles that can leave quite the impression, as it takes unexpected twists and revolves around a tense atmosphere. The play takes place in Thebes, a kingdom ruled by Oedipus, who attempts to rescue his people from a gruesome plague. As cruel as it may have been, Oedipus, ruler of Thebes, did deserve his fate due to his foul, stubborn behavior and his questionable actions. Though this topic may be controversial, there is no way to overlook Oedipus’s…

Knowing that this oracle was in place, Oedipus’s biological parents made the decision to get rid of him as soon as he was born; they thought that by doing this the oracle’s claims could never come true. Oedipus was sent to a different kingdom called Corinth and the people that raised him were the king and queen. King Oedipus deserves sympathy because he had no control of his fate.…

Control is out of this world. “Compatibilism is the thesis that we are both determined and yet at the same time have the sort of freedom necessary to be morally responsible for our actions” (McKenna). Everybody has their own viewpoints on free will and hard determinism. It is often said that it can only be one or the other. The economy, the laws, and the people are only doing what is set in stone for them to be doing, or making their own choices in life. Well, I believe it’s both. Compatibilism…

Sophocles’ Oedipus the King tells of the mysteries involving the royal family of Thebes. It depicts Oedipus’ mission to uncover the murderer of Laius, while in turn discovering the unfortunate truths of his reality. As the play progresses, the portrayal of the mighty, proud king intensifies, until the moment of truth drastically changes him into a lowly criminal who pleads for pity. It is through this portrayal that Sophocles uses the connection between hubris and anagnorisis to communicate…

An Analysis of the Ancient Greek Polis The illustrious philosopher, Aristotle, provides a vantage point to the practicality of a polis in antiquity by defining it as a “... partnership finally composed of several villages…” that has “...attained virtually complete self-sufficiency and thus while it comes into existence for the sake of life, it exists for the good of life” (Camp). In a versatile attempt to foster a sense of community among citizens, the conception of the polis set into motion…

Although bleak, the story of Oedipus could be the story of any of us. Yes, everyone could capitulate to a foreboding future, for it is out of our hands, just as it was out of his. Even before he could speak there was prophecy of what he would come to do. He unknowingly killed his father, only to learn about it twenty years later. He takes his own eyes out with the pins of his mother’s brooches. Oedipus is a classic example of a tragic hero because of his unjust fate and cruel circumstances.…
