Tragedy Journal 1

A reaction to Tiresias from the perspective of Oedipus:

How dare he! This false prophet, old and senile, yet having that overwhelming desire to bring the powerful down. Is this part of his plot to overthrow my benevolent rule and replace it with such men as Creon?

Talking in such ridiculous riddles! It just is a way to confuse those that seek his incompetent advice. I will find a way to use my own intelligence, along with the help of the gods instead of mere mortals, to hunt down the killler of Laius and restore the city that was once greatly helped by my own hands.

What does he mean by my parents? I don't have time for thinking about this, it is important,
this matter at hand, finding the cure for the plague that has reveled in our city's cries and laments.
