HW: Review Unit 5 Vocabulary Flashcards; any classwork you didn’t finishBell Work/BW #51: After years of wandering in exile from Thebes, Oedipus arrives in a grove outside Athens. Blind and frail, he walks with the help of his daughter Antigone. Neither she nor Oedipus knows the place where they have come to rest, but they have heard they are on the outskirts

of Athens, and the grove in which they sit bears the marks of holy ground. A citizen of Colonus approaches and insists that the ground is forbidden to mortals and that Oedipus and Antigone must leave. Oedipus inquires which gods preside over the grove and learns that the reigning gods are the Eumenides, or the goddesses of fate. In response to this news, Oedipus claims that he must

not move, and he sends the citizen to fetch Theseus, the king of Athens and its environs. Oedipus then tells Antigone that, earlier in his life, when Apollo’s oracle prophesied his doom, the god declared that Oedipus would die on this ground.The Chorus enters, cursing the strangers who would dare set foot on the holy ground of Colonus. The Chorus convinces

Antigone and Oedipus to move to an outcropping of rock at the side of the grove, and then interrogates Oedipus about his origins. When Oedipus reluctantly identifies himself, the Chorus cries out in horror, begging Oedipus to leave Colonus at once. Oedipus argues that he was not responsible for his horrible acts, and says that the city may benefit greatly if it does not drive him away. Oedipus

expresses his arguments with such force that the Chorus fills with awe and agrees to await Theseus’s pronouncement on the matter.This a summary of Oedipus at Colonus so far-what stands out the most from this and why?Agenda: Attendance/Announcements/

Objective: Participate in discussion and reading parts for Oedipus at Colonus, and continue tracking assigned Theme with group.HW: Review Unit 5 Vocabulary Flashcards; any classwork you didn’t finishBell Work/BW #52: The Chorus gathers around Oedipus, relentlessly denouncing his crimes and insisting that he recount his

tragic life story. Oedipus reluctantly tells of killing his father and marrying his mother, both crimes that he insists he undertook unknowingly. Theseus now enters, saying that he knows Oedipus’s story and pities his fate. Oedipus thanks Theseus for not making him repeat his story yet again, and tells him that his body will prove a great boon to the city. Oedipus

requests that Theseus provide him with proper burial in Colonus, and Theseus agrees. Oedipus then warns him that Thebes will attack Athens for the right to his body, and Theseus asks why Oedipus doesn’t return home to die, if Thebes so desires his presence. In reply, Oedipus launches into a lament on the cruelty of his exile, the fragility of the bonds of friendship and love, and the

untrustworthiness of all but the eternal gods, who promise protection to the city that buries him. Theseus swears that he will protect Oedipus from the Thebans and never betray him. Theseus exits, and the Chorus comes forth to praise Colonus.

Antigone sees Creon and his guards approaching. Creon notices the family’s fear and insists that he comes only to

bring Oedipus home and give him rest. He tells Oedipus that his pitiful wanderings bring shame upon Thebes, but Oedipus disbelieves this statement, arguing that Creon willingly sent him away. He tells that he knows why he is being courted—for the sake of the blessing the gods have promised to the possessors of his body. Oedipus tells Creon that he has no desire to return

to Thebes but only to enter into the peace of death. He tries to send Creon away, but Creon refuses to relent, and orders his guards to seize Antigone and Ismene. This a summary of Oedipus at Colonus from yesterday-what stands out the most from this and why?Agenda: Attendance/Announcements/
