Ist Ödipus blind?
Nun wird Ödipus seinerseits zornig und droht Teiresias mit Strafe. Dieser geht jedoch noch einen Schritt weiter und beschuldigt Ödipus auch noch der Blutschande, ohne dies allerdings näher auszuführen. Er deutet außerdem an, dass Ödipus selbst bald blind sein werde.

Where did Oedipus go after he left Corinth?
Upon hearing this, Oedipus decided instantaneously to leave Corinth and go as far from it as possible; so, he headed northward, in the fated direction of his birth town, Thebes. On his way there, at a narrow three-way intersection near Daulis, he came across a chariot carrying King Laius, his biological father.
What does Oedipus mean in Greek mythology?
A Corinthian, this second shepherd took pity on the boy and brought it at the court of King Polybus and Queen Merope of Corinth. The royal couple, also childless, decided to adopt the poor baby and raise him as their own. They named the boy after his ankle wounds: Oedipus means “Swollen Foot.”
What does the messenger tell Oedipus about his father?
Oedipus tells him the prophecy—that he would kill his father and sleep with his mother—and says that this is why he has never returned to Corinth. The messenger tells Oedipus he never had anything to fear. Polybus and Merope weren’t his real father and mother.
What did the oracle tell Oedipus not to do?
The words uttered by the Oracle, in answer to Oedipus’ question, seemed straightforward enough, for Oedipus was told not to return to the land of his birth, for if he did he was destined to murder his father, and to sleep with his mother. Oedipus, still thinking he was a son of Polybus and Periboea, thus decided not to return to Corinth.
