How does Sophocles view leadership? What message might he have for those watching his play in Ancient Greece based on the monologues in Scene 3 and the prophecy delivered to Creon in Scene 5? How do you know? Do you think his message or viewpoint on leaders is still relevant today?

Answer:

How does Sophocles view leadership?


Leaders are powerful people who prove their ability to assist others. Throughout the years, humanity attempts to have an upright, yet rigorous, rule. Great leaders have induced goals that represent the needs of both the leader and their people.


What message might he have for those watching his play in Ancient Greece based on the monologues in Scene 3 and the prophecy delivered to Creon in Scene 5?


Persistence in finding the truth is the theme the pushes Oedipus through the process of his tragic downfall. It is this persistence that leads him to realize he has fulfilled the prophecy he thought he had escaped, and in turn leads to his ultimate ruin. Action vs. punishment is what starts and ends the play

I’m not sure if it’s still relevant today
