In at least 150 words, explain how the following line relates to the major themes of oedipus the king. chorus leader: “our lord teiresias, i know, can see into things, like lord apollo.”

Explanation:

Prediction, prophecies, and blindness/sight are all major themes which the quote above deals with. Oedipus is blind to the truth, but Teiresias is physically blind. Oedipus can physically see just fine, but Teiresias can see the truth which Oedipus cannot. The quote also deals with prediction and prophecies. Teiresias can see things very clearly and, because in the play, the revelation that Oedipus fulfilled the prophecy that he would kill his father an marry his mother hasn't occurred yet, we can view this as a prediction or foreshadowing of what will happen later in the play.

I'm always happy to help :)
