Oedipus Rex EPISODE 3

Episode 3 Summary of Message Characters We will soon know the parentage of Oedipus. Chorus wonders about Oedipus’s birth. Jocasta Messenger Oedipus Choragos

Episode 3 A messenger arrives from Corinth announcing the death of Polybus and Oedipus' ascension. He puts to rest Oedipus' fear of the oracle (that he will kill his father and marry his mother). Oedipus is to be crowned King of Corinth. Initially, Oedipus is filled with relief. Because of the prophecy, Oedipus claims to still fear Merope, the wife of King Polybus of Corinth, the mother who raised him.

Episode 3 (continued) Oedipus still fears that the prophecy is true: that he will marry his mother and the two will bear children. The messenger reveals that Polybus was not Oedipus’ natural father. The messenger had been given an infant found in the mountains and he, in turn, gave the child to the king and queen. Over Jocasta's objections, Oedipus vows to continue his search for the truth. Jocasta runs into the palace.
