The Seer "Teiresias"

Welcome Back To My Blog ! : Segment 8 According to Teiresias, what can Oedipus see? What can’t he see? What might this suggest about how Teiresias understands Oedipus’s authority as king?

             Who Is Teiresias?

•  he is a really old guy
• he is blind
• he is a seer
• he could see what the "future holds" 
• he doesn't fancy Oedipus 
• he is rude
• he might be blind be he could hear everything 
• his lips are moving 
• wise man

 according to the seer Teiresias what Oedipus could see is lies. because Oedipus doesn't believe what This seer has to say because  he has no proof he is a bin man and he can't even be a witness to what happened.however what Oedipus soon finds out that he has no idea who he actually is and thats all Teriresia testes Oedipus patience in the beginning (telling him whats the deal , and saying he can't handle the truth YIKES !) further on Oedipus does some investigations on the death of king Laius ( but this could be his down fall that the " seer was trying to tell Oedipus all along). what this might suggest about how Teiresias understands Oedipus authority as king is he doesn't want the town people to turn their back on him because he has to be the one to save their lives again for the second time.when Apollo's word came back (lines 460) he might still have left the murder of Laius...
