Oedipus with both daughters Oedipus (with Ismene and Antigone) condemns Polyneices

Trilogy Oedipus Rex Oedipus at Colonus Antigone

Oedipus at Colonus When Oedipus stepped down as King of Thebes, he gave the kingdom to his two sons, Eteocles and Polyneices, who both agreed to alternate the throne every year. However, they showed no concern for their father, who cursed them for their negligence.

After the first year, Eteocles refused to step down and Polyneices attacked Thebes with his supporters (the Seven Against Thebes). Both brothers died in the battle. King Creon, who ascended to the throne of Thebes, decreed that Polyneices was not to be buried.

Blind, old Oedipus, a former king of Thebes, wanders for many years guided by his daughter, Antigone. Now he and Antigone end their journey near the Greek city-state of Athens at a place called Colonus.

Aristotle’s Theory of the Tragic Flaw a tragic hero possesses a defect or tragic flaw that brings about or contributes to his or her downfall. Ex: poor judgment, pride, weakness

Antigone and Ismene

His youngest daughter, Ismene, joins them at Colonus, bearing news from Thebes that her brothers are fighting over the kingship and Eteocles exiled his brother Polyneices from the city. Oedipus is stunned to hear this, but she also reveals the oracle's prediction that the each of the sons will soon seek Oedipus' support to win the battle for the throne.

Disgusted, he refuses to help either of them because Theban citizens had treated him so poorly before. He asks for the help of Theseus, King of Athens, to protect him and his daughters, and the wise king agrees. Next, the exiled older son Polyneices comes seeking Oedipus' support, yet the old man is angered at his son's request and condemns both of his sons to death because they are so selfish.

Antigone and Polynices

. Oedipus thus dies after a long life filled with suffering that is cured only by forgiveness and acknowledging the supremecy of the gods. Because of his return to faith, he is absolved from the crimes he committed so many years before. After their father's death, Antigone and Ismene return to Thebes, hoping to prevent the deaths of their two brothers that Oedipus had predicted; however, they are too late.
