How is Oedipus an epic hero in 'Oedipus Rex'?

Oedipus is not an epic hero in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the term epic describes a long narrative poem that tells of heroic characters and cultural events. The term hero describes an individual who does great deeds, holds great powers and is the main character. The first description fits Theban King Oedipus as the solver of the Sphinx's riddle and King Laius' mysterious murder. But the second description does not fit since the story is told in the dramatic format of a tragic play.

Why are epics considered historical sources for information?

Epics are narratives told of legendary or historical figures that tell the tale of heroic deeds. The reluctant hero, the hero who discovered his hubris, the tragic hero, the hero of a thousand faces all told to instruct the reader, to tell the listener how heroes act when they struggle in the face of adversity. Our historical figures tend to mimic the reluctant hero, the ambitious hero and the tragic hero in their actions. Alexander the Great, Pompey, Caesar, Jesus, Constantine, William Wallace, Napoleon, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Robert E. Lee, Martin Luther King...all historical figures that quite nicely fit into the heroic paradigm. When people lead epic lives their stories, their autobiographies and biographies and historical accounts become epic stories.
