Ukusukela ngoko uba yinkosana yaseKorinte.
U-Oedipus ufumanisa njani inyani yobomi bakhe?
U-Oedipus ngexesha lokufikisa kwakhe wayejongeka eqeqeshwe kakuhle kwimithambo yomkhosi. Abanye abafundi afunda nabo babamonela, yiyo loo nto babaxelela ukuba: "Uthathwe njengowakho, abazali bakho zange bakuthande."

Ukumkanikazi uMerope wayesoloko esithi nguye kwaye akekho omnye umntu.
Nangona kunjalo, wayesenamathandabuzo, woyika, uthatha isigqibo sokuya kwi-oracle yaseDelphi ukuva ingxelo yakhe. Apho weva eyona nto ibuhlungu ebomini bakhe: wayengenguye unyana wookumkani baseKorinte, abazali bakhe yayingukumkani waseThebes, ababengamthandi ngenxa yesiphelo sakhe esikrakra. Isibonakaliso sakhe sasisoyikeka, sibi. Ke ucebise ukuba angaze aye eThebes.

Zazaliseka njani iziprofeto ze-Oedipus?
Ukudideka kuka-Oedipus kwamkhokelela ekubeni azalisekise ikamva lakhe ukuba isigwebo samgweba. Unomdla wokususa isimilo sakhe, akazange aye eKorinte kodwa waya eThebes, apho zaziza kuzaliseka khona. Endleleni wadibana neqela lamadoda awatshabalalisayo kuba wayekholelwa ukuba aza kumhlasela, omnye wawo yayinguKumkani uLaius, utata wakhe wokwenyani. Kodwa u-Oedipus wayengazi okwangoku kwaye kuya kuthatha ixesha elide ukufumana inyani.
Emva kwexesha wahlaselwa sisigebenga esikhulu esoyikekayo ababesoyika bonke abahambi. Wayezinikele ekuhlaseleni abahambi ukuba abaziphenduli iigigmas zakhe. Kwakumalunga neSphinx, isidalwa esingaqhelekanga esinomzimba wenja, umsila wenyoka, amaphiko eentaka, izandla zomfazi, iinzipho zengonyama, ubuso bentombi, nelizwi lobudoda.

Wonke umntu wayebhiyozela ukutshatyalaliswa kweSphinx. Benza itheko elikhulu kwaye babhiyoza kuba ebengasayi kuphinda ahlasele omnye umntu. Kananjalo, emva kwako konke oku yayiyidinga likaCreon, umolokazana ka-Laius ongasekhoyo. Wanikezela ngesandla sodadewabo uJocasta kunye nobukumkani kulowo wakwaziyo ukuthoba iSphinx. Nantsi ke indlela esizaliseka ngayo isiprofeto sesi-XNUMX: owamazibulo wayeza kutshata nonina.
Indawo yokugqibela yeOedipus
Nje ukuba uSphinx onenzondo atshatyalaliswe, U-Oedipus kunye noJocasta batshata njengoko kunikelwa ngumzalwana wakhe. Ngexesha lokuphila kwabo, babenabantwana kwaye babonwabile ngokwenene belawula iThebes. Kude kube lilishwa ukufika kulo mmandla. Isibetho esibuhlungu seziganeko eziyintlekele sahlasela uxolo nokuchuma kwabemi, sibanyanzela ukuba babuyele kukumkani wabo u-Oedipus ukuze bafumane isisombululo.

UKumkani u-Oedipus ubamamela ngenyameko emva koko bagoduke.
Okwangoku, kuyeza UCreon kunye neendaba ezinikiweyo ezivela kwigama likathixo uApollo. Ezi ndaba azikhuthazi kwaphela kukumkani, kuba kufunyaniswe ukuba uKumkani uLaius wabulawa ngaphandle komthetho. Uthixo wayalela ukuba abohlwaye abo bakwenzileyo, nokuba ngoobani. Nje ukuba kwenziwe ubulungisa, uThebes ubuyela esiqhelweni.

Waba yintoni umphumo ombi? U-Oedipus uxoshiwe eThebes kunye nabantwana bakhe. UJocasta uzibulele ebona ukuba yonke into yenzekile. Isizwe sazalwa ngokutsha kwaye baphila ubomi obuqhelekileyo. Yagqitywa ke imihla yokugqibela ka-Oedipus ukumkani, indoda elishwa ephawulwe ngamabali amabi ukusukela phambi kokuzalwa kwakhe kwaye emtshutshisa de kube sekupheleni kobomi bakhe.
