A 4 page essay that explores Sophocles' plays Oedipus and Antigone in regards a principal theme in Greek drama, which is to remind the audience that the will of the gods is paramount and that neither high position nor noble birth exempt an individual from the obligation to fulfill societal duties according to divine dictates. Following this theme, Sophocles pictures numerous ironic reversals of fortune in his plays Oedipus the King and Antigone. This dramatic device serves to underscore the basic themes of both plays, which emphasize the dangers of hubris and the goal of justifying ancient Greek social paradigms as being founded in divine commandments. No additional sources cited.
