A COMPARISON OF TWO MEN AND TWO MYTHS IN A KIND OF GREEK LOOKING POWER POINT PRESENTATION Kroisos and Oedipus: One in the Same?

It’s all Greek to Me: The Similarities Sins of the Father Misinterpreted Oracle/Assumption Hero’s Fault

Sins of the Father Gyges- Kroisos’ great-great grandfather  The Ring of Gyges, Kroisos pays Laios- Oedipus’ father  They are in the same boat! KROISOS OEDIPUS

Misinterpreted Oracle/Assumption “A great empire will fall…” “You will kill your father and…” KROISOS OEDIPUS Ah-ha! Of course, you must mean the Persian empire! Ah-ha! Of course, you must mean my Corinthian parents! ORACLE

But you know what happens when you assume…

The Fault of the Hero Kroisos acknowledges own fault, not gods’  Does this make him a tragic figure? Oedipus: tragic figure  Has to be his fault KROISOS OEDIPUS ♪♪ Blame it on the h-h-h-h-h-h- hero ♪♪
