Read the excerpt from A Short Walk Around the Pyramids and through the World of Art. The Parthenon.

Parthenon, high on a hill, catches the first light of morning. The carvers wanted the sight of that golden light washing across the horse and a line of other gods to be unforgettable. And so they coaxed the images of their gods out of the marble with such tenderness that they gave the world an example of ideal beauty. Each figure is as calm and as refined as our minds can imagine. They are so noble and quiet that they do seem godly and perfect companions for the noble, quiet temple.

Which important detail does the photograph best help readers understand?

"Each figure is as calm and as refined as our minds can imagine."
"the sight of that golden light washing across the horse and a line of other gods to be unforgettable"
"Parthenon, high on a hill, catches the first light of morning."
"they gave the world an example of ideal beauty"

What is the significance of the above statement in relation to the play’s conclusion? oedipus treats his inferiors poorly but ultimately grants them the same respect he grants to nobility. while teiresias appears to be mocking oedipus, the real message is one of warning about the forces working against the king. oedipus earns great fame for answering the riddle of the sphinx but ultimately loses his crown to a common man. just as oedipus is unable to conceive that he has done wrong in the past, he is unable to imagine that his enviable position is impermanent.
