In about 75 words, identify whether the four italicized words in this passage from Oedipus the King are nominative or objective pronouns, and explain why that is so, based on how they are used in the sentence. Include any words from the passage that help in your explanation.

You didn't include the excerpt, but I managed to find one, if that is the one you need:
Those (who) wish to get something from you now flatter me, since (I)’m the one (who) brings success in what (they) want.

All of these pronouns, who, I, who, and they are nominative pronouns, because they are the subjects of the sentences. If the were the objects, then they would be used in the objective case, and be written like this: whom, me, whom, and them.
