	Tiresias \| Tiresias, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
		Tiresias is said to be a descendant of Udaeus, one of the SPARTI who rose from the ground after the teeth of a certain dragon had been sown by Cadmus.
		Tiresias' mother, the nymph Chariclo 1 who was dear to Athena and one of her attendants, asked the goddess to restore his sight, but Athena, not being able to do so, cleansed instead his ears in such a way that she caused him to understand the sounds of birds.
		Since Tiresias' blindness could therefore not be taken back, Athena bestowed on him the power to utter oracles, to understand the birds (the bird-observatory of Tiresias could still be visited many generations after his death), to live a long life, and after his death, to keep his understanding among the dead.

	Tiresias and Dionysus
		Tiresias is introduced immediately after Bacchus’ birth, and included a bit later in the narrative titled, "Pentheus and Bacchus." Ovid’s source for this story is Euripides’; play Bacchae (1).
		Tiresias is the only one among the dead who has retained understanding, "Even in death—Persephone has given him wisdom, / everlasting vision to him and him alone… / the rest of the dead are empty, flitting shades." Circe commanded Odysseus to offer blood from a sacrifice to the dead in order to communicate with them.
		Tiresias’ ability to prophesize is not affected by the fact that he is in Hades.

		Tiresias' sexual transformations in Ovid's Metamorphoses are described in a short and humorous passage (Met.
		Ovid's Tiresias is an expert in the sexual experiences of males and females; yet the wisdom he has gained from his transformations does not enable him to truly see or understand the feminine; his vision is limited by his original masculine identity (Loraux, 1995).
		Tiresias' sexual transformations provide a model by which a female poet can create a male voice for herself, and hence be successful in a male dominated literary world.

	THEATER REVIEW: Tiresias -- A collaborative creation
		Tiresias undergoes further adventures, such as turning back into a man, suffering alienation from her husband and from her daughters, as well as another confrontation with Hera, before returning to her daughters and attempting to gain their understanding.
		Another excellent effect was when the aged Tiresias (Andrea Zengion), the omnipresent narrator, directly engaged in the action being narrated as a flashback device and expression of longing for the past.
		Besides drama and humor, another affecting scene was that between Tiresias as a young woman and her playful daughters, where she convinces them to hear her tell a story and soothingly puts them to sleep.
