Read the passage below and answer the question.
but as for those prophetic oracles,
they’re worthless. polybus has taken them
to hades, where he lies.
why is this statement by oedipus ironic?

Because Polybus is dead.

Explanation:

Sophocles employs dramatic irony which intends to reflect the author's message to the audience and the characters don't see it. The given statement by Oedipus is ironic as it suggests the incompetence of the Oracles as Polybus is dead now and took them to Hades. He is critiquing the authenticity of oracles as it is of no use as he(Polybus) no longer exists and symbolizes his concern. This shows his anguish and mockery against the "prophetic oracles" as it could not help saving him from the mortality.
