"Oedipus the king" was a puppet of the gods or master of his own fate - thesis?

Was oedipus a puppet of the gods or master of his own fate? In other words, did the people who lived in ancient Greek culture believe that they had control over their own lives or did they believe that their lives were controlled by the gods?

Good first sentence. I dislike the use of "in other words" to start the second sentence. Also, "were controlled" is passive, which she be avoided when necessary. Try this sentence (or something similar) instead.

Did the ancient Greeks believe that they had control over their own lives or did they believe that the gods controlled their lives?

thank you sorry about my post tho, the post is the prompt for the essay lol i failed

Hi Ricky, I'm sorry I didn't get to help before the assignment was due, but I would not want to just give you an answer after you posted the prompt. Next time, post the prompt and write something to show that you did some reading and thinking. Then, we'll give you some more ideas.

:-)
