English 2 Pre-Ap / period-3 10-19-2013 Ignorance is Not Bliss Oedipus Rex‚ by Sophocles‚ premiered in 429 B.C.E.‚ tackles the idea of fate‚ and how too great of a desire to change fate will result in the opposite of what you want to happen. I believe that this play was created to argue against the idea that your fate can be changed.
