That he is cursed is how Oedipus characterizes himself in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Oedipus characterizes himself as cursed by birth, family and murder. He describes himself as repulsive to gods and mortals. He regrets that his humiliation passes on to the sister Princesses Antigone and Ismene, his daughters and half-sisters.
When Oedipus learns that he was the boy from the prophecy who killed his father, then married his mother, he pulled the pins from Jocasta's (his mother and wife) robes and stabbed his eyes out. He then begs Creon to exile him, which he happily does.
It is in the course of questioning two witnesses regarding his parentage that Oedipus discovers his true identity in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Oedipus must end the pestilence in Thebes by identifying and punishing the killer of Laius, his royal predecessor and his wife's first husband. While awaiting the arrival of the sole surviving eyewitness to Laius' death, Oedipus is pressed by a Corinthian messenger to leave Thebes and accept the vacant throne of Corinth. Oedipus is reluctant to accept because of a prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother.
The messenger then tells of Oedipus being fostered into the Corinthian royal house despite being born in the Theban royal household. The preceding information is confirmed by a Theban shepherd who is the sole surviving witness to a dreadful Theban prophecy, the infant Oedipus' abandonment and Laius' murder.
Empathy is the admirable characteristic that is revealed about Oedipus when he discovers the full truth about himself in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the term empathy describes the ability to feel what others experience. The description fits Theban King Oedipus' empathy with his children and his people. He makes it easy for his parents to interact with him in the Underworld of the afterlife because they will not have to exchange shameful glances over the murder and incest that unites them. He also makes it easy for people to shun him because they no longer have to look the savior of Thebes in the eyes when they do so. Finally, he understands the shame and suffering of his innocent young daughters, the sister Princesses Antigone and Ismene, and tries to ease their burden and prepare their way through life.
That he is the son and heir of a royal house, the killer of five men, the husband of the Queen of Thebes, the hero and king of Thebes, the father of four children, and thebearer of an unenviable fate are what Oedipus knows about himself in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Oedipus acknowledges himself to be a prince and heir apparent, but not of the royal house that he thinks. He admits himself to be the murderer of five strangers, but notof the identities that he assumes. He recognizes himself to be the Theban Queen's husband and the Theban first family's father, but not about the additional blood tie that binds them all. Finally, he views himself as the recipient of a miserable fate, but not as the victim of its complete unfurling.
He dicovered that he was the killer of Laius, the old king, and his cursed fate was true, that he did marry his mother. INSEST.
