Line 8:
* [[Greek Chorus]]: [[Aristotle (Creator)|Aristotle]] in ''[[Poetics (Literature)|Poetics]]'' cited him as how choruses ''should'' work.
* [[Missing Episode]]: More than a hundred.
* [[Self -Fulfilling Prophecy]]: Trying to prevent the prophecy that their son will kill his father and marry his mother, Laios and Jocasta order that he be abandoned in the wild. But the baby is saved, and he not knowing his parents (nor they knowing him) is, of course, the set-up that makes the prophecy actually come true.
* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]: The measures Oedipus' parents take to prevent the prophecy from coming true are in vain.
