Oedipus
Oedipus In Oedipus the King by Sophocles, Oedipus is looking for the king’s murderer. Ironically it turns out that Oedipus had unintentionally and unknowingly killed the king on his way to the kingdom some years beforehand. The most significant lines in the story come from Oedipus in his speech to the people of the city cursing the person or persons who killed the king and threatened those who knowingly hid him. “Now my curse on the murderer. Whoever he is, a lone man unknown in his crime or one of among many, let that man drag out his life in agony, step by painful step. I curse myself as well…if by any chance he proves to be an intimate of our house, here at my hearth with my full knowledge may the curse I just called down on him strike me.” Here Oedipus calls the gods to curse the man who murdered the late king Laius. Again ironically Oedipus has called down oedipus, king, curse, killed, called, upon, people, man, life, laius, himself, unknowingly, story, step, spared, sophocles, queen, out, one, oedipus’, murderer, kingdom, jocasta, irony, ironically, begins, years, world, wife, whoever, way, unknown, unintentionally, unfold
