Oidipous indicates that he has revised his understanding of all that previously passed between himself and Kreon. Recalling what once was said as well as the views and attitudes he then expressed, he now realizes that Kreon was not intriguing against him, because what Teiresias said has since been found to have been accurate. Contrary to Oidipous’s assumptions at the time, Teiresias was in possession of a prophetic voice; he was not prevaricating as part of a political plot to depose Oidipous. [Mpei] Despite the implications of these facts for Oidipous’s standing with the god, however, he is primarily concerned with the loss of his credibility with Kreon. Ignoring the implications of the proof of the god’s authoritative speech via his intermediaries, Oidipous is focused upon reestablishing the basis for his own authoritative speech. [Md] The recognition that he made grave errors in the past has not fundamentally shaken the attitudes upon which those errors were based. [Mpea] He is so concerned with the efficacy of his own words and deeds that he fails to draw the conclusion that he should himself now place his full faith and trust in the god and the intermediaries through whom the god’s instructions may be obtained.
