In some ways, Creon is a foil to Oedipus, showing a sense of justice and compassion that Oedipus does not. We have evidence of Creon’s lack of ambition for kingship, and willingness to compromise only from his own speeches though.

<span>Oedipus’ downfall is that when in power, he becomes arrogant, treating Tireisias in a high-handed manner, and suspecting Creon of being after the rulership of the city rather than merely concerned about the city’s welfare. Creon claims to be concerned only for the city, and appears more pious than Oedipus and more concerned with making sure that Thebes is not offending the gods</span>

Answer:

In the story by Sophocles, Oedipus and Creon are two totally different people. Oedipus is impudent and careless. On the other hand, Creon is clever and careful.

Explanation:

In “Oedipus the King”, Oedipus is clearly the typical hero with imperfections . He becomes conceited and impudent and he even blames Creon and Tiresias of disloyalty, he also goes against the gods.Fot his reason the gods punish him severely. Creon is the exact opposite of Oedipus, because he thinks carefully before he acts. Creon is clever, careful and loyal.

guajiro [1.7K]
<span>The speaker retells a story from Greek mythology, the rape of the girl Leda by the god Zeus, who had assumed the form of a swan. Leda felt a sudden blow, with the “great wings” of the swan still beating above her. Her thighs were caressed by “the dark webs,” and the nape of her neck was caught in his bill; he held “her helpless breast upon his breast.” </span>
