Whom does the chorus leader claim can settle the dispute between Oedipus and Creon in 'Oedipus Rex'?
It is Jocasta that the chorus leader claims can settle the dispute between Oedipus and Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Creon cannot stop the argument that his brother-in-law Theban King Oedipus starts. The chorus leader cannot stop it either. But he is confident that Queen Jocasta, Creon's sister and Oedipus' conciliatory wife, can end it all.
Whom does the chorus suggest Oedipus' possible parents to be in 'Oedipus Rex'?
A god and a nymph are the possible parents that the chorus suggests for Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus finds out that he is native to Thebes instead of to Corinth. He is in the process of finding out who are his biological parents instead of the Corinthian monarchs assumed to be his father and mother. In honor of Oedipus' reputation as the heroic savior and beloved ruler of Thebes, the chorus suggests that Oedipus well may be the son of Hermes the messenger or Dionysos the wine god.

It is Oedipus who advises Queen Jocasta to send for the Theban shepherd. Creon offers no such advice, but does suggest that Oedipus go consult with the Delphic oracle himself.
What is the chorus' attitude and whom do they represent in 'Antigone'?
Supportive of Creon is the chorus' attitude and the most accomplished, respected and senior members of Thebes is whom the chorus represents in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus draws its members from twelve (12) of the city's highest and most respected achievers among the city's senior citizens. One member functions as the leader. He gets to interact directly with the other characters.
When does a messenger announce Oedipus' self-blinding in 'Oedipus Rex'?
It is after Oedipus runs from the Thebanshepherd's testimony and into the palace that the messenger announces Oedipus' self-blinding in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the Theban shepherd admits that Queen Jocasta is Oedipus' mother. Oedipus goes into the palace after Jocasta, whom he finds already hanged. He grabs her brooches and blinds himself with them. The messenger tells the chorus about the suicide and the self-mutilation.
Whom does the chorus leader suggest as being able to help Oedipus locate the murderer's whereabouts in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Teiresias is the person whom the chorus leader suggests as being able to help Oedipus locate the murderer's whereabouts in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet is the long-lived advisor to all of Thebes' kings from the time of the city's founding by Cadmus, first Theban king and Oedipus' great-great-grandfather. He is a storehouse of past, present and future knowledge through his own wisdom and through his skilled interpretation of ritual sacrifices. But he can share that expertise only if his presence is requested by the reigning king of Thebes. Otherwise, he must sit on his knowledge.
When does Jocasta talk to Oedipus about their children in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Jocasta does not talk to Oedipus about their children in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta makes just two references to a family life. She makes the first one when she discusses her first husband King Laius and their infant son whom she says is dead. She makes the second one when she goes inside the palace to kill herself. She speaks of her first born child who becomes her husband and with whom she has children.
Whom does Oedipus send and where before the beginning of 'Oedipus Rex'?
Creon; the Delphic oracle
Whom does Oedipus charge with treason?
Teiresias
To whom does the pronoun 'he' refer in lines 306-308 of 'Oedipus Rex'?
It depends upon the particular edition being consulted in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the lines in the original Greek deal with Theban King Oedipus' welcome of Teiresias the blind prophet. Oedipus discusses Apollo, Laius, Laius' murder and mortals. But English translations may be wordier and therefore refer to earlier events, such as Oedipus' comments about Laius to the chorus leader just after the parodos.
Whom does Oedipus blame for not solving Laius' murder in 'Oedipus Rex'?
It is the chorus of Theban elders that Oedipus blames for not solving Laius' murder in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus hears that the pestilence in Thebes can end only with the identification and punishment of King Laius, his royal predecessor and his wife's first husband. Oedipus is results oriented and therefore unimpressed with the murder of a king being allowed to remain unsolved. He observes that that will change with his investigation, which he heads precisely because the Theban elders did not do their job in the first place.
