How does Oedipus ascend to the throne of Thebes, and what happens at the crossroads where three roads meet?

Humanities First, give a brief plot summary that answers the following questions. This should take no more than one good paragraph: How does Oedipus ascend to the throne of Thebes, and what happens at the crossroads where three roads meet? What crimes does Teiresias know Oedipus is guilty of, and how does the king respond? What events lead up to his final exile? Next, answer at least one of the following analysis/interpretation questions: In practical and philosophical terms, what is Oedipus trying to do by fleeing Corinth? How do the various plot details model irony? Give at least two examples. What lesson(s) would a Greek audience have drawn from the story? We’ll discuss it further in class before you need to deliver the paper, which is not due till the end of term (Finals Day). 3 pages (1200-1500 word count), 1” margins, double-spaced, 10/12 pt. type; on a cover page or in the top left-hand corner, be sure to put your name, my name, our class, and the date. Use an effective structure that carefully guides your reader from one idea to the next, and edit thoroughly so that sentences are readable and appropriate for an academic audience. Remember my comments in class on the challenge of translating poetry. William Butler Yeats’ excellent version, used in this performance, more than does justice to Sophocles’ language. You’re advised to have it handy while writing the paper (and rewatching the play) so you can review dialogue or details as needed.
