Following this theme, Sophocles pictures numerous ironic reversals of fortune in his plays Oedipus the King and Antigone. This dramatic device serves to underscore the basic themes of both plays, which emphasize the dangers of hubris and the goal of justifying ancient Greek social paradigms as being founded in divine commandments.
