Tiresias was the prophet that told oedipus that he was the curse of Thebes and that he murdered his own father. Oedipus was very hesatent of believing Tiresias but after jocasta told him about the three roads that met is where the king died everything started clicking in his head. the personality of Tiresias is kind of arrogant cause he thinks that he is kind of untouchable because he is a prophet and the gods will protect him. I think his important quote is "I say you are the murderer you hunt." cause it made oedipus think twice about himself. Tiresias was ivolved in the tragedy by opening oedipus's eyes by telling him he was the cause for this curse that took over Thebes.
