Answer:

With strength and planning, one can resist temptation.

Explanation:

In Homer's "Odyssey", the main hero of the epic narrative story is Odysseus. The story details the journey of Odysseus and his men from their way back home to Ithaca after the war at Troy.

In Book 12 of the story, Circe warns Odysseus of the journey ahead and the sounds of the sirens that will try to lure the men. She advised him on how to be safe from these creatures' calls, telling him to seal their ears so that they won't get any sound in. Also, she told him to do the same and also tie himself at the mast so that even after his desperate pleas, he won't be able to get loose. This obedience led them through the waters safe and away from the danger of the Sirens and their temptations. This scene shows the theme of perseverance, strength and planning as a means of avoiding and resisting temptation.

describe the psychological differences between Oedipus and Creon and how these differences relate to the play's major themes.
SpyIntel [72]
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>
