Like in the book, people now days have many prophecyies. In todays time we are constantly surounded by predictions, which play major roles in society. Back in the day owever they had Oricles to tell warn them.
In the book Oedipus finds out from a Oricle that he will, kill his Father and marry his mother. Oedipus does exactactly as the Oricle says he would. But are Opricles/Propheyies always right?
One example of a Prophey being wrong, would be Y2K.
Now people are all hyped up for a new Prophecy...2012. Many people are starting to think that the world will end on December 21, 2012. One reason people belive this is because the Myan calender (Picture up top) stops on the that day. I think they just got tired of making calenders. Will the earth end? who knows, we will just have to wait and find out...
