Oedipus

A prophet warned King Laius of The bes that because he had married his cousin Jocasta，he would be killed by hisson．To avoid the disaster，he ordered his loyal she pherdto kill his newborn baby son．The goodhearted slave，however，could not bring himself to do the evil deed． He pierced the baby' s feet and tied them with ropes． Then he turned the baby over to the care of a fellow shepherd who happened to be the servant of the king of Corinth． The child was given the name of Oedipus，He was brought up by the childless royal couple as their sonand successor．The prince had never doubted that the king wasnot his real father until one day he heard others talking about his parentage． Deeply troubled，he went to Delphi to require about his birth．There he was warned by Apollo not to return to his native country，because，should he do so ， he would kill his father and marry his mother． The frightened young man turned his back on Corinth，determined not to return while his supposed parents lived．

Oedipus had not gone far on his way to The bes when he sawa cart coming towards him． The man sitting in the cart，angry at the young man in the way，whipped him on the face with anoath ． Oedipus jumped onto the cart and killed him in his anger．of the five servants who followed their master on foot，only oneescaped narrowly． Little did Oedipus think that the man sitting in the cart was King Laicus，his father． Presently the young manar rived in the kingdom of The bes． Round about this time，the The bans were troubled by a woman headed monster，called Sphinx， who produced a riddle to them． The crown and the hand of the widow queen were offered to anyone who could solve the riddle． Oedipus met Sphinx on a cliff． To the monster' s riddle，“What animal walks on four legs in the morning，on two atnoon，and on three at night？”he offered the answer，“Man，Who creeps in infancy，walks upright in manhood，and supportshis steps with a staff in old age．” Thus， Sphinx threw herselfdown into the valley． Oedipus became king of Thebes and husband of the queen，his mother．

For a long time after this event，Oedipus lived in honour and prosperity． Four unnatural children came out of this odd marriage，two sons and two daughters． Then the sad thing came．Aplague raged throughout the land ． Every family was affected，and not a day went by without new death． A prophet warnedthat the trouble would not be removed until the murderer of the former king Laius was driven out of the country． An old blindseer，Tiresias by name，was brought before the king and，outraged by the kings impolite language，declared that Oedipus himself was the hunted murderer． The king was shocked and annoyed． He called the The ban and Corinthian shepherds to provethe truth． As the two old shepherds had been concerned in his adoption as an infant，the truth finally became known． The queen hanged herself． Oedipus put out of his own eyes with apin，so that he might not look on the sun again．he was driven out of the kingdom and wandered from one city to another，untilhe found protection in King Theseus' Athens． There at the signal of Zeus' thunder，he mysteriously ended his poor earthlylife．参考资料：Greek Mythology

The story of Oedipus has captured the human imagination as few others.It is the story of a man fated to kill his father and marry his mother，a man who by a cruel irony brings these things to pass by his very efforts to avoid them.But these plays are not about fate，and not about irnoy.They are about character，choice and consequence.In Antigone we see a woman who will defy human law ，and die for it ，rather than transgress the eternal ，unwritten laws of the gods.Oedipus the Tyrant is the story of a ruler destroyed by those qualities-pride，determination and belief in his own ablitities-which made him ruler in the first place.Finally，in Oedipus at Colonus，written late in Sophocles' life，the aged and blinded king achieves a personal reconciliation，but at a cost-a son who will die in battle against his country，and a daughter who will die burying her brother.

Thebes 的英学的故事已经当做很少的其他取得人类的想像。它是宿命杀他的父亲而且与他的母亲结婚的男人的故事，一个藉着残酷反讽带着这些事物到的男人经过他的最努力避免他们。但是这些游戏不有关命运，而且不有关 irnoy。他们有关个性、选择和结果的事。在安提歌尼，我们见到一个将会藐视人类的法律，而且为它死，并非违背神的永恒又没有写法律的女人。Thebes 的英学暴君是被那些质量破坏的尺的故事-自傲、决心和信念在他自己的 ablitities 中-哪一个在第一 place.Finally 中使他成为尺，在被在 Sophocles' 生活晚写的 Colonus 的 Thebes 的英学，老年人而且盲人国王达成一个个人的和解，但是以费用-一个将会死于战争对抗他的国家的儿子、和一个将会死埋她的兄弟的女儿。
