In the play Oedipus Rex, Teiresias, one of the main characters is a blind prophet and the servant of Apollo. He was summoned to the palace by the king, Oedipus to reveal the truth about the murderer of King Laios. He was twice asked by Oedipus to come to the palace to discuss the crisis in Thebes. In the first act of the play he finally appears, revealing the reasons for the city's devastation, knowledge that he is reluctant to reveal to Oedipus for fear of making him miserable. Oedipus, feeling himself to be betrayed by the prophet's resistance, verbally abuses Teiresias ("You sightless, witless, senseless, mad old man!") and accuses him and Creon are engaged in conspiracy against the crown, planning to betray him. Reluctantly, Teiresias tells Oedipus that he should not mock him so quickly; in lines he tells the king that it is he who is blind: "But I say that you, with both your eyes, are blind. You cannot see the wretchedness of your life, Nor in whose house you live, no, nor with whom." Significantly, Teiresias is also the first character in the play to question Oedipus's assumption that he knows his parentage and to tell him that he has committed murder that he does not yet know are his own. He tells Oedipus that he will become blind and poor, that Oedipus himself is the murderer of King Laios, and that he will learn that he has married his own mother and having the children which supposedly to be his sister and brother.
