Besides the predictions of Teiresias, what other foreshadowings of theshepherd’s revelation does the play contain?
What will be an ideal response?
- Two extended passages that occur between Tereisias’s predictions and the shepherd’s revelations give a number of hints to the eventual outcome. At lines 769–788, Jocasta tells Oedipus that there was a prophecy that her husband Laius would be killed by his own son, that he had therefore had his newborn’s ankles pierced and sent him away to his presumed death, and that Laius himself and his attendants had been killed in a fight at a place where three roads met. There is enough in this account to make Oedipus begin to seriously question whether his own curse might not have been fulfilled. At lines 1076–1107, the messenger tells Oedipus that Polybus was not his actual father, that he had brought the infant Oedipus to Polybus and Merope after receiving him from Laius’s shepherd.
