what character flaw does teiresias point out?

a)oedipus’s pathos

b)oedipus’s mythos

c)oedipus’s anagnorisis

d)oedipus’s hubris

Answer:

d)oedipus’s hubris

Explanation:

As we can see in the excerpt shown in the question above, Oeddipus shows himself with such self-confidence that he became hubris, full of self and without any humility. he bragging about how he saved the city because he’s big, invincible. Oedipus' hubris makes him irritating and uncomfortable and it is possible to see that Teiresias criticizes this type of behavior and to affirm that it is this arrogance that will lead Oedipus to ruin, because nothing good is generated from arrogance.
