oedipus rex

Facts of life in Oedipus Rex
Undoubtedly, Sophocles is known to be the prevalent human nature developer in so many different areas such as religion, politics, society, and morality. ... He goes very deep when he describes Oedipus’s personality, making the readers wonder how he really is, and how he would be if he had to face the real world. ...
A good example, which proves that Sophocles is facing facts of life, is when the Sphinx, a creature that is part woman, part bird, and part lion; asks Oedipus, “What has four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, and three legs at night? ... Oedipus answers, “man”(281), saving Thebes from the terrible disease brought by the horrible creature. ... Therefore, when the readers interpret the symbolism of the riddle, it becomes clear that just like humans, Oedipus goes through the three stages of life and surely he confronts the real facts of life.
