摘要：In this paper, the origination of Oracle for the former king of the city-state of Thebe and how Oedipus becomes the “scapegoat” is introduced first; then the Dionysian spirit in Oedipus the King is discussed. Oedipus the King is a classic drama written by Sophocles, an ancient Greek writer. Oedipus was cursed by God for the sins committed by his father. He fought against fate without hesitation, but finally he failed to violate the oracle and had to go on the path of self-exile. This paper will focus on the interpretation and analysis of the Oracle, destiny and Dionysian spirit, and explore why the hero Oedipus fell.
