How does Laius die in Oedipus Rex

English
1 answer:
Vladimir [108]3 years ago
7 0
Oedipus kills him after leaving home, upset at hearing the prophecy in which he was told he would kill his father. He runs away from home because he doesn't want to kill the man he thinks is his father (Polybus). So he comes upon a chariot that knocks him off the road, and he gets so mad, he kills all of the people in it, including Laios.
The exact line from the book ( Dudley Fitts and Robert Fitzgerald translation) is :
"He was paid back, and more! Swinging my club in this right hand I knocked him out of his car, and he rolled on the ground. I killed him."
What isn't clear is whether he killed him by knocking him over the head, which caused him to become unconcious and die, or whether he fell out of the car and then Oedipus killed him.
But that is in a nutshell, how Laios died.
Hope that helped!

Exercise 1 Use the spelling rules in this lesson to spell the words indicated.<br> critical + -ly
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

The correct spelling of critical+ly is <em>critically</em>.

<em>Critically</em> is an adverb formed by the root adjective <em>critical</em> and the suffix -ly.

In general, to form adverbs from an adjective we add the suffix -ly after the adjectives' last syllable.

Adjectives that end with one L keep it when adding the suffix -ly.

This is the case of the adverb <em>critically</em>.

Other examples are:

  • Typical⇒ typically
  • radical ⇒radically
  • practical ⇒practically
  • cool ⇒ coolly

If the adjective ends with double L, we drop one before adding the suffix:

  • chill⇒ chilly
  • full⇒ fully

You can learn more about suffix -ly in the link below:

Write a poetic line that uses alliteration in at least three words.<br><br> please help me
Rashid [163]

<span>“Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.” – The Raven, by Edgar Allan Poe.</span>

<span>
An alliteration is the use of a series of three or more words that start one or two letters that are the same. Some invented examples could be: “Sally the slithering snake, snuck secretly towards the stables”. </span>

<span>
</span>

<span>There are also many tongue twisters composed by alliterations, like:  “She sells sea-shells down by the sea-shore”; or “Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers”. </span>
