Wait I thought it was his overly investigative nature. Which Tiresias implicitly warns him against. Like don't be soooo intent on digging out the truth..you might just be digging your own grave all this time, instead.

The term "hubris" is overused, probably because it's a fancy word and sounds super official in a conversation. It comes up every time people discuss fatal flaws--and it IS a frequent fatal flaw in literature, but it shouldn't be the default answer.

When my class studied Oedipus, a lot of people said pride was his fatal flaw, which... no. If you read the play, his most prominent flaw is his short temper. He's so quick to anger and become violent, which is probably what led to him killing his dad in the first place. His fatal flaw isn't hubris, it's poor anger management.

classical literature one lit prof said that it could be contrasted with Hamlet's flaw which is procrastination I faintly remember that most tragic heroes suffer from pride which either births or exacerbates their flaws. dunno tho oedipus hubris and hamartia baby ain't ever letting you rest in peace

two sikh men facing forwards, standing against a gold-toned backdrop. they are both bearded and wearing intricately embroidered green and gold sherwanis, with matching green turbans.

a bookshelf containing neatly arranged leather-bound books which are mostly in shades of green and tan, a typewriter, and sepia photographs. the shelf is decorated with green vines and small plants.

a traditional black autorickshaw travels through a path of blue green foliage shadows, in the heavily forested hills of south india.

an ornate crystal chandelier suspended from a painted ceiling. the tapers around the chandelier are bright turquoise, bathing the room in blue green light.

the blue-green silhoutte of two boys kissing, their shadows cast against a brick wall

blue green interconnected metal chairs, as seen in waiting rooms. a single stemmed red rose lies on one chair.

a closeup of ornate mughal architecture on a monument alcove, consisting of symmetrical patterns, detailed inlay and mirrorwork, in varying shades of indigo and purple.

a cluster of succulent plants in shades of blue, green, indigo and purple.

paint supplies and a sketchbook on a table. the palette and paint box only contains varying shades of purple and the sketchbooks is open to a page with a painted gradient of purple shades.
