Seminar Discussion #2 – Fate / Destiny


Seminar Discussion #2 – Fate / Destiny


The central message in Sophocles’ tragedy Oedipus Rex warns Greek audiences of the dangers of questioning the gods or one’s fate. In the eyes of Greeks, any person who denied the fate that the gods had deemed appropriate showed excessive hubris, and would inevitably be punished.


While the Greeks had a strong belief in fate, linked closely to their religion and mythology, the concept of fate is much less influential in modern Western society. In America, the idea of fate, once a guiding principle in many faiths and philosophies, took a back seat to the Puritan idea of predestination and later all but disappeared to the attractive ideals of free-will and “rugged individualism.”


Use the assigned reading to learn about the concept of “fate” and related ideas. Connect the readings to what you know about ancient Greek culture and your own personal beliefs. Be prepared to discuss the questions listed below and take time to prepare a discussion question of your own.
