Answer 1

The blind prophet who advised Laius and Oedipus, before Creon, and whose auguries show that the gods are angered by Creon's decision to leave Polynices unburied is Tiresias.

Step-by-step explanation:

The blind prophet who advised Laius and Oedipus before Creon, and whose auguries show that the gods are angered by Creon's decision to leave Polynices unburied is Tiresias. In the play, Oedipus sends his brother-in-law, Creon, to consult the oracle of Delphi for a remedy to the plague. When Tiresias, the blind prophet, is brought before Oedipus, he reveals the truth about Oedipus' identity and predicts the tragic events to come.
