Athens and Sparta were both equally powerful city-states; however, they differed in their government, military, and lifestyles leading to disagreement between the lands. The Athenian government revolved around democracy on the other hand, Sparta was an oligarchy. In Athens, the government was a democracy, allowing more citizens to be included.

I believe Tireasias was too afraid to tell Oedipus the truth about his identity. Oedipus is known to have a violent temper, and that he has a short fuse. Tiresias was scared that if he were the one to bear the news, that Oedipus might kill him, because he already killed a man because he was angry and too proud.

Passionate love is a state of longing for union with the loved individual, mixing many emotions and behaviors, both cognitive as physiological. Many of the "symptoms" are raw emotions that are yet to be processed, such as in the example: Scott loves Diana passionately and can't help but to feel with the outmost excitement when he sees her...as he can't help but to feel jealous when she talks to other men, or get her out of his mind when they are apart; surely provoked out of the strong love that he has for her, that strong feeling of longing when they are apart.
