- Oedipus and Knowledge in Sophocles' Oedipus Tyrannus : An Examination with reference to Euripides' Bacchae
抄録
This paper aims to examine the nature of the knowledge possessed by Oedipus in the Oedipus Tyrannus of Sophocles. It is evident from the fact that he has defeated Sphinx that he surpasses other human beings in knowledge, but he cannot avoid the fulfillment of Apollo’s oracle. This fact suggests that the knowledge of Oedipus is nothing more than that of the human level, which with its own limitation is no match for the divine knowledge. The latter half of this paper focuses on the use of the Greek words meaning knowledge used in this play. They can be classified into four major groups marked respectively by the stems of soph-, gnō-, phron-, and oid-. The soph- group features the highest form of knowledge and is mainly used to imply the divine one. The knowledge of Oedipus does not belong to this group, but to the gnō- group whose attribute is its own limitations. The differentiation of human and divine knowledge is strengthened by the examination of Euripides’ Bacchae, which also deals with the serious confrontation of the human and the divine.
