This couple is childless and and they prayed and offered sacrifices to the gods, asking for a child. They went to the temple of Apollo at Delphi, and again begging the god for a child. The received the horrifying prophecy that Jocasta would have a son but that son would murder his father and marry his mother Jocasta. Question: Will Queen Jocasta and King Laius be given a son? 2 The child Oedipus was born. The frightened parents told a faithful servant to expose the child to the mountains so that he would die and the evil prophecy would not come true. The shepherd took the baby to the mountains but before he could leave him, another shepherd from Corinth came and asked for the child, whom he said, he would give to the childless king and queen of Corinth. Out of pity, the Theban shepherd gave the child to him.
Question: What future awaits Oedipus
in Corinth? 3 Oedipus grew up believing that Polybus and Merope, the king and queen of Corinth were his parents. But because of a quarrel with a youth of his age who accused him for not knowing who his real parents were, he went to the oracle of Delphi and asked the god Apollo to tell him of his parentage. The oracle repeated the prophecy already given to Laius and Jocasta that he was doomed to kill his own father and marry his own mother. Shocked by the statement and in order to avoid this doom, Oedipus left Corinth determined never to come back until Polybus and Merope were dead. Question: What did Oedipus do after knowing the horrible prophecy? 4 On his way from Corinth, he came to a meeting of three roads. He was insulted by an old man in the clothes of a pilgrim who attempted to beat him up. Oedipus gave the old man a strong blow, killing him at once. He then continued on his way and came to the city of Thebes. The inhabitants of Thebes were suffering under great misfortune in the form of a Sphinx. This monster had given them a riddle to solve which ran like this: What is it that walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon and walks on three legs in the evening?
Question: Who successfully solved the riddle
of the sphinx? 5 The Thebans could not solve this riddle, so they had to take their young boys and girls to feed the voracious Sphinx. Oedipus successfully solved this riddle by telling that the answer is man, who crawls on four feet (hands and legs) as a child; walks upright on two legs when he grows up; and walks on three legs (with the help of a cane) in old age. Oedipus was acclaimed a hero by the Thebans whom asked him to marry their queen, Jocasta. Question: Did Oedipus marry the queen? 6 Oedipus became king of Thebes. He had four children with Jocasta _ two boys and two girls. A plague came over the land, and when the oracle of Delphi was consulted, the god Apollo said that if the Thebans want the plague to be removed, they must look for the murderer of their late king Laius, and punish him. The people appealed to Oedipus who promised to look for the murderer and save the city. Little by little, the truth unfolded to Jocasta and Oedipus that they are mother and son. Unable to bear this situation, Jocasta committed suicide and Oedipus blinded both his own eyes to punish himself, for his failure to see the truth. Post Reading Discussion:
