Oedipus Rex

 

 

 

Today we are going to go over Oedipus Rex by Sophocles.

 
Prologue: A monologue or dialogue preceding the entry of the chorus, which presents the tragedy's topic or theme.

Parodos: (Entrance Ode) Refers to the section of the play following the prologue, in which the chorus enters chanting or singing verses.

Odes - Refers to songs sung by the chorus throughout the play. There are two sections:
1) Strophe: (turn) A stanza in which the chorus moves in one direction
2) Antistrophe:(counter-turn) A stanza in which the chorus moves in the opposite direction

Exodus: (Exit Song) Refers to the section of the play in which the chorus leaves chanting or singing.

Chorus: 12-15 actors. The chorus comments on themes, and shows how an ideal audience might react to the drama. It also can represent the general city or town people within a story.
