2012?!?!?




Did you hear that the world is going to end in the year 2012? Well a lot of people think it is going to happen they even made a movie about it. Differences between the two are, in the play tiresas says that oedipus is going to kill his dad and marrie his mom, but in the 2012 one it just says the world is going to end.




People belived in these prophecys because they are able to see and hear what the gods tell them and what they do. "How terrible- to see the truth when the truth is the only pain to him who sees" said Tiresias (275) when he is talking to Oedipus about when he said he would kill his dad and marrie his mom.
