To prove this cannot be true Socrates conducts cross examinations to find someone who is wiser than he is. Through these examinations Socrates mission and main points are to help people…
everything and are wise to the fate of people. Fate is known by these people and their word is usually followed. A example of a famous Oracle was the Oracle of Delphi who belonged to the God Apollo. They were said to get their visions from the Fates, a Deity or as in Ancient Greece from Apollo. The entire play of Oedipus Rex was based off a single prophecy told by an Oracle. The events played out and followed the prophecy to the word, thus showing Fate. But an argument can be made for Free…
was diagnosed with cancer. As anybody would, Vera took this news to heart on a deep level. When Vera Giasi (Vera’s grandmother) was forty years old, she was diagnosed with stage-four breast cancer in both breasts. Vera’s mother, Christine, told the Oracle that when she found out her mother had cancer, she wasn’t sure how it was going to end, or if it would end at all. Vera Giasi’s family did the only thing they could do: pray and hope that she would be strong enough to pull through. Over that…

unyielding quest for the truth. Oedipus is an ideal king to the people of Thebes. He is compassionate, sensitive, has a special ability to solve riddles, and is bold, but his hubris is his downfall.

Oedipus’ hamartia is that he does not heed to the principle that happiness comes through reverence and humility; man should accept divine laws and accept the…
