Why is Tiresis important in "Oedipus Rex"?

Oedipus announces the ball and asks for people's help, announcing that the perpetrator promises generous rewards and an amnesty (allowing him to leave the country) to those who fear being discovered as accomplices. He said he was involved in all of this and would be looking for the killer, but without the public's help, his investigation wouldn't get very far. He ordered everyone "if they know that one of the murderers is not one of them let him come to their house as much as possible, and if it is him, do not speak to him, do not sacrifice or pray to him, do not give him holy water [4] for sacrifice, and everyone drive him away ,...this villain ended his miserable life, if he happened to be my relative and knew this, saved me, then I got what I cursed for him...I would go looking for the murderer even if the gods didn't ask for it , because he was a good king, and a relative of mine, I married his wife, and our children and his children were brothers. If he wanted children of his own, I would find the murderer just as I found for my own father. He does the same."

This dance represents the citizens, and the elders can argue with the king, complaining that Oedipus accuses him when no one has killed them, but he doesn't know who did it. . After all, the elders said, after Apollo puts the matter to rest, let us know who did it. Oedipus agreed, but said: "No one can force the gods to say what they don't want to say." The ball was to consult Tyrus, who knew as much as Apollo. Oedipus replies, "I have taken care of it, and I look forward to its coming." The dance shows that they were compromised during this period and did not tell the killer to look out for fear. Oedipus's comment "He who is not afraid of death says he is not afraid of death either" Then Tiresias comes and Oedipus immediately asks him to do everything possible to save the city because he is the only mortal who knows so much.

"How awe-inspiring and heavy it is to know that what you know does you no good. Let me go home!" said Tiresias. Oedipus pleads, "But we want you all to keep telling us the truth." "Please, because you don't know her," he insists.

Oedipus is angry and accuses him of ruining the city and betraying the city that nourished him. He can even anger Stone, considering him ruthless and the worst of all villains, But the Oracle also insists on doing so otherwise all will be lost, even if it continues to stink. Oedipus accuses him outright (perhaps to get him talking) of murder, saying that he planned it and that if he had seen it, he would have done it himself. Teiresias said: "In this case, then stick to what you have done for others, don't say hello to me in the street, don't say hello to anyone else, because as far as I'm concerned, this country is you. ” When Tiresias dared to accuse Oedipus, Oedipus became even more furious, believing that the oracle spoke so out of anger. However, under the pressure exerted by Oedipus, Tiresias clearly stated: "You are the murderer of the person you are looking for."

Oedipus said: "You think Can you double down on the same offense? Not only that, but you will unknowingly develop a shy relationship with them. Honey, you have no idea how unhappy you are."

Oedipus accuses him of being haunted by Creon, and the madman says that he does not need to be harmed by Creon, hurting his lonely self. However, Oedipus is still considered undesirable by his friends and relatives, that is, Kreon, who works against him and uses as his instruments "the deceitful liar's prophet, the paranoid with his eyes but the blind fortune teller" Tyresia "Tell me what you were looking for when you were prospecting, if you were, because you weren't sphinxed. You were doing it all because you thought you'd have more power if the creepers came. It seems to me that you and Kron will purify the city with your cries."

There is a dance that recommends both temperaments, as the solution is to find a solution with the oracle. But Teiresias was offended by Oedipus's attitude and said that he was not his slave and did not need Creon as his protector because he had Apollo.

"You blame me for being blind but open and not seeing where you live, who are your relatives, who is your mother, who is your father, not knowing, your enemies, Those who are in hell, those who are still in the world, and those who are eager to pursue Ara[5] will find you and attack you, from your mother to your father, now you see what you think is right, then you will see only darkness... … When you enter the palace of marriage, your lamentations will not be able to sing with it. When you are at sea and there is no harbor at home, you dock the coins in the harbor, and you don’t even realize the things that make you and the real one. Just as evil as you.
