Answer:
A third person omniscient is where the narrator narrates the story using words such as the ones I have listed below:
he, she, they
The narrator knows the whole story - the beginning, middle, and end, even though all parts are not always written. You get a sense of the story through the narrators feels and emotions. The narrator can give opinions of the characters, even if the characters themselves do not speak.
Explanation:
Just remember it is an "all knowing" perspective on the story. He knows what is going on in all of the character's minds throughout the story.
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!
Ooo that’s nice to know anyways ty for points
The meter of this poem is iambic pentameter.
You can tell that the meter is in iambic pentameter because each line has ten syllables and the rhythm follows the iambic patter. This means that the stress of each syllable alternates unstressed then stressed. There are five sets of iambs (a pair of syllables: unstressed then stressed) in each line.
