beginning of wisdom.” (Socrates-cite website). Socrates was the wisest person in Athens according to the Oracle of Delphi. In Plato’s Apology we read about Socrates’ journey to find a man wiser than him, his trail, and finally his death. First we will discuss what the Oracle of Delphi is. The Oracle of Delphi is a shrine for the Greek gods that the pageants worshiped. In the Apology the Oracle of Delphi tells Socrates that he is the wisest man in Athens. Socrates was shocked about this statement

In the Bible, the Fall happens because of the crave for knowledge by human beings. In Oedipus The King by Sophocles, Oedipus’ immense need for knowledge causes him to not be able to see clearly his foreseen destiny. He is a man who knows who he is and he knows the power of knowledge, but this battle for knowledge that he seeks drives him to be blind. Oedipus deals with the human struggle for knowledge. Oedipus’ knowledge of himself creates a sense of superiority. Oedipus tells Tiresias, “I came

conscious that I am not wise at all; what then does he mean by saying that I am the wisest?” (Dan Futter). There are interpretations that have offered insufficient resources for explaining how Socrates could have been humanly wise before Apollo’s oracle, when Socrates believed incorrectly that he was not wise at all. I argue that a reasonable interpretation

Oedipus’ inner blindness leads to his status as a static character and more ultimately, his downfall. His hubris and oblivion are what lead him down the path of self-destruction. He constantly refuses to listen to what anyone has to say and this prevents him from ever changing within. Oedipus is a static character who shows the same consistent personality traits throughout his life. He is selfish, oblivious and callow and men like him do not always change; sometimes, this can cost them. Oedipus

1. From reading “Apology: Defense of Socrates” by Plato, one of the main beliefs Socrates repeatedly stated through out the reading was that one is wiser than others when he does not think he knows something, that he does not know of. Having that said, I think that the kind of wisdom Socrates could be referring to here is the wisdom of being humble over the knowledge you carry, or you think you carry. In other words, not taking too much pride in the knowledge you think you have

Carved into the entrance of the Oracle at Delphi are two phrases, words of advice and caution for “Know yourself” and “Nothing too much”. Delphi plays an important part in the story of Oedipus, the oracle is where the all-important prophecy is twice delivered and where the kings of Thebes seek solutions for the people’s torments. Oedipus’s fatal flaw is that by seeking to fulfill his duty as king and his own natural curiosity he has learned too much about himself. These closing lines follow the

people think you are a mindless fool about externals, and do not desire a reputation for knowing about them” (#13). Socrates does not try to convince others that he has supreme knowledge or expertise, nor does he have the desire too. However, since the oracle proclaimed that Socrates is the wisest of all men, he repeatedly proves to pompous individuals that they are not wise, even though they think they are. Socrates is considered so wise because he consciously admits what he doesn’t know, rather than

human wisdom is worthless. (Pg 27, 23b). Socrates begins his investigation after the Oracle of Delphi claimed that no one was wiser than Socrates. (Pg 26, 21 a-b).
