How can a prophecy be true if the future differs from what was foreseen? Sophocles entertains this question in Oedipus the King. Teiresias, Creon, and Oedipus have weighed in on the unsolved murder of Laius, and now Jocasta voices her opinion about the inherent fallacy of the prophet's vision. Though much of the text remains, ninth graders come to their conclusions as they analyze the similarities between Jocasta's and Teiresias' accounts of that fateful day.
