Honor refers to an individual's good reputation or the public esteem in which that individual is held. The concept shows up in 'Oedipus Rex' in terms of the character of the same name. Oedipus has an honorable reputation, and is held in honor by Thebans, for having delivered the city from the Sphinx. Before Oedipus' arrival, the Sphinx terrorizes the city and cripples the city and its people with heavy taxes.
