Which of the following is true in oedipus?
One thing that is true, is that Oedipus was a mythicalGreek king of Thebes.
How did the dramatic irony of 'Oedipus Rex' arise from the audience's knowledge of the myth?
In Oedipus the King, Oedipus feels ill at ease because he does not know the true story of who his parents were, or how he came to be king. Oedipus feels that when he knows these things he will be happy. The audience knows (and Jocasta suspects) that the knowledge will be disastrous for Oedipus (and it proves so). The dramatic irony is that Oedipus is destroyed by his quest for knowledge; even though seeking out knowledge is usually a good thing.
What is the last thing that Oedipus sees before he punished himself in 'Oedipus Rex'?
His wife is what Oedipus last sees before he punishes himself in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus finds the body of his wife Queen Jocasta hanging from the threads of her robes. He moves her to the floor. He then removes the brooches that hold her robes together and blinds himself with them.
What horrible thing does the oracle claim that Oedipus will do in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That he will kill his father and marry his mother are the horrible things that the oracle claims that Oedipus will do in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, it is the Delphic oracle that speaks to Oedipus of these horrible things. This oracle is located at Delphi and is considered the most famous and most respected oracle in ancient Greece. What the Delphic oracle says therefore tends to be taken seriously, and Oedipus does what any really frightened person does: He runs.

Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone

What is the last thing that Jocasta commits in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Suicide is the last thing that Jocasta commits in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta tries to help her second husband, King Oedipus, solve the murder of her first husband, King Laius. But things take an unexpected, uncomfortable turn when Teiresias the blind prophet says that Oedipus is the killer and when the Corinthian messenger says that Corinthian monarchs Polybus and Merope are not Oedipus' biological parents. Keeping in mind a prophecy that she denigrates about Oedipus killing his father and marrying his mother, Jocasta faces unenviable facts and goes off to hang herself with the threads from her own robes.
