 * Chorus

__INTRO__

I was thinking about just talking about what happened before this ode and how it happened. so basically the context. yes?

__CONTEXT__ Oedipus had finally found out that he killed his own father and married his mother after questioning the shepherd and the messenger from corinth. He found out the whole story: how his parents sent him away to die but instead he was given to Polybus, the king of corinth to raise as his own.

__CONTENT__- Who: The chorus is speaking to/about oedipus. - What: Oedipus's downfall. Oedipus was the most respected king because he solved the riddle of the sphinx. But as high as he rose, he fell and is now the most pitiful man in Thebes. It was unfortunate that even though he was meant to die even before he was born, his fate kept him alive and he is "doomed to lose that fortunate little death".(66). - When: After Oedipus found out the the truth about himself and realized that he killed his father and married his mother, thus causing the plague in Thebes. - Where: Outside the castle, in public - Why: The chorus feels sympathy for Oedipus and on some level still respects him as their king. "No prince in Thebes had ever such renown, No prince won such grace of power." (65-66). But the crimes he committed, whether or not he knew, are too serious and hard to accept. There is also some disbelief because they cannot come to terms with the fact that their great king could be capable of such sins.

__CONCLUSION__

I need everyone's information so I can make a summarization of it for the conclusion, you guys can give it to me tomorrow.

Tone/Mood/Voice--->rythym ? i dont know if you want to include this -it is like the chorus is singing like a goodbye to Oedipus, like they are giving him praise for everything he did in his life, and how he WAS a good king, like his reigning is over. -I think it is a lot of pity, they feel so bad for him "For I weep the world's outcast", -It is like the chorus is relfecting on how they couldn't see it before, "I was blind, and now I can tell why" -disappointment in Jocasta "How could that queen....Be silent when the act was done?"
 * Jefferey+Anika- Anika! What ever is easier for you guys, you're right, language and everything is VERY broad, do either you or Jeff want to split that with me? Let me know before Friday, because I've already started annotating the Ode! **

 OKAY THIS IS WHAT WAS ON GOOGLDE DOCS Ms.KEMSLEY Okay the commentary on Ode 4: We need to do... Context/Content (who,what,when,why,where)- Ragna or Ashley -
 * Ragna-**
 * Language- (diction,syntax, rhyming?) - repitition of a lot of dark words; doom, death, weep, die, expelled, bitter, ghosts, down, deepImagery (metaphors?) -Literary terms (juxtaposition/Irony/repetition)

Chorus Symbols -virgin with hooking lion claws? --->the sphinx and how Oedipus figured out the riddle - uses words liek "bow" and "archer" are they trying to relate to Apollo?

What should be our argument? Thesis? IDEAS--> -Throughout Ode 4 we will explain/show how Sophocles shows that the chorus foreshadows the death/corruption of Oedipus through his language, tone, literary terms.
