For your first (of two) blog post on the story of Oedipus the King, focus on the topic of prophecies. Google the word and read about some prophecies either past or present, then construct your blog post following the instructions below. Make sure to include...- Give your post a creative yet appropriate title!
- An important quote from the play thus far about prophecy (might be said by the blind prophet Tiresias, or could indeed be someone else).
- Information about a prophecy you read about online with a LINK to where you read about it. Who prophesized the event? What was it that they prophesized? Did it come true or do you think it will? How do you think people reacted to this prophecy (or do people still react to it)?
- What similarities and/or differences are there between the prophecy you researched and the ones decreed in the play? Similarities/differences between how people react to them?
- Why do you think people believed so much in prophecy during this time period? How did their strong belief in prophecy affect the ways they lived their lives?
- Add a comment to the Oedipus Vocab post using a sentence of your own creation about the play, showing me you understand the meaning of the word.
Don't forge to include your initials in the "Labels" section of your post!
