Apollo is the child of golden hope in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Apollo is the god of prophecy. That is the main reason why he is mentioned since oracles and prophets try to speak his will and that of the Furies of fate. But Apollo also is the sun god.
"Rex" is Latin for "King". Oedipus Rex means "Oedipus the King".
It is in the royal bedroom that Oedipus gets the closest to praying in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the term prayer describes a confession, entreaty and gratitude. The description fits disgraced Theban King Oedipus' call to Apollo the god of prophecy after he finds his wife Queen Jocasta hanging by the threads of her own robes. Oedipus gouges out his eyes. He invokes Apollo in the sense that he blames Apollo for life's misfortunes but admits his own guilt in blinding himself.
