"Let every man in mankinds frailty consider his last day; and let none presume on his good fortune until he find life, at his death, a memory without pain"
This seemed to capture the idea behind Oediups Rex and serves as a warning given by Sophocoles. Man, even in his most blissful and falsely secure state can never be sure of his wellbeing, and he can also never be certain that the truth he knows is in fact the ultimate truth.
