Which two of these excerpts from homer’s odyssey depict the gods’ involvement in mortal affairs?

“but, tell me who thou art? and what thy race?
thy town, thy parents, and thy native place?
or, if a merchant in pursuit of gain,
what port received thy vessel from the main?
or comest thou single, or attend thy train? ”

then thus minerva in laertes' ear:
"son of arcesius, reverend warrior, hear!
jove and jove's daughter first implore in prayer,
then, whirling high, discharge thy lance in air."

cylenius now to pluto's dreary reign
conveys the dead, a lamentable train!
the golden wand, that causes sleep to fly,
or in soft slumber seals the wakeful eye,
that drives the ghosts to realms of night or day,
points out the long uncomfortable way.

now sat ulysses at the rural feast
the rage of hunger and of thirst repress'd:
to watch the foe a trusty spy he sent:
a son of dolius on the message went,
stood in the way, and at a glance beheld
the foe approach, embattled on the field.

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.
