Fate vs. Free Will Many believe that fate is what will control a person’s destiny and once it is set up for them, there’s no changing it, but others believe that free will has also a big part to rewrite a person's destiny. Oedipus was born with a terrible fate that wasn’t his fault or his choosing. All he could do was try to change his destiny or help it come true. Oedipus had no idea what actions he took would be the right one. The only thing he could do was try and choose a path that may or…

In my opinion, I find Oedipus extremely arrogant. Oedipus called Teiresias a liar and even accused him of working with someone who sought Oedipus to become an exile. Oedipus says “for I did not seek it out, Creon, my old trusted family friend, has secretly conspired to overthrow me and paid off a double-dealing quack like this…”. Though he has known Creon as an honest man and perhaps a friend-like figure he accuses him of betraying him. He does so publicly. He disregards Teiresias' special…

Oedipus’ fate, philosophers such as Aristotle would argue that Oedipus and Jokaska were still somewhat responsible for what happened to them because of free will. At one point in the play Jokaska recalls a prophesy her and King Laios received form an oracle before Oedipus was born, “It said that Laios was destined to die at the hands of a son born to him and me.” (Oedipus the King, 52). At this point they both had the choice to not have any children at all, though it would have been hard it…

“It has been said that something as small as the flutter of a butterfly 's wing can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world” (“The beauty of scientific laws and how it influences the operations of a business”), choices people make can decide what happens in their lives. Oedipus, made decisions that led him to unveiling the truth and blinding himself. Oedipus, was the king of Thebes, married to Jocasta, his mother, before he discovered the truth of his marriage. Twenty years prior to…

belief onto them, he offered to rebuilt their Temple(Mark, Joshua. Alexander the Great). Alexander had also conquered Egypt, and even went as far as to visit and Egyptian oracle so that he could be titled the son of Zeus. Alexander showed how much he wanted to unite cultures from this example because he went to an Egyptian oracle in Egypt to proclaim himself a son of Zeus, a Greek God. Alexander the Great really wanted to connect the Greek and Persian cultures. He appointed Persians high…

infant exposed. Oedipus is rescued and raised by the king and queen of Corinth. He is told by the oracle that he will kill his father and marry his mother. This causes him to leave town in order to avoid this fate and in doing so he inadvertently puts his fate in motion, when he unknowingly killed his father Laius. While one can argue that Oedipus made the choice to go to Delphi and speak to the oracle, he chose to listen to the man in regards to his parents not being his bio-parents, he then…

Before Benioff became the CEO of Salesforce.com he worked for companies such as Apple and Oracle. “Prior to launching Salesforce, he spent 13 years at Oracle Corporation.” (Unknown 2016). “He also worked as an assembly language programmer in Apple Computer’s Macintosh Division.” (Unknown 2016). As you can see from these two quotes Benioff was very experienced in the tech…

myth. The oracle told Thebes’s ruler he will be killed by own son, which then will marry his mother. Parents decided to kill the child, Oedipus, but the slave did not fulfill the order. The man also found out about the prophecy and tried to avoid it. But his attempts led to totally opposite results: Oedipus killed his real father and married mother as a new ruler of Thebes. When he found out the truth, the man blinded himself. The play ends on the scene, where Oedipus waits for the oracle, who…

Socrates’ Responsibilities in Plato’s The Death and Trial of Socrates Socrates has made a lasting impression on readers for millennia. Being an outspoken mind that taught his methods to others, his legacy continued through his protégée, Plato, whose own works have also greatly influenced today’s modern ideology (Class Notes January 24th). In Plato’s The Trial and Death of Socrates, Socrates is accused by Meletus of corrupting Athens’ young, creating new deities and not believing in the city’s…
