This
paper answers two important questions in connection with two different Greek plays. The first part of the paper focuses on the character of Creon, who
appeared in the
play 'Oedipus the King' by Sophocles, while the second part discusses the meaning and significance of the term '
gadfly' in the
speeches of Socrates. These speeches appeared in Plato's play 'Apology' which revolves around the
trial of Socrates in the court of Athens.
