It is a serious tone that is found throughout "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the term tone describes the author's attitude to characters, plots and themes. The comments by the chorus and the conversations among the characters fall within the serious domain of trying to survive one problem while solving another. But a comic attitude may be found in references to Bacchus the wine god and his followers.
