Answer 2

The easiest way to prevent run-ons is actually a very simple process.

Read the sentence out like if you were speaking it to someone, and when you would naturally stop and breath, place a comma there. If it is a place you would make a full stop place a period.

Yes, your sentences are run ons, however some of them should be made into more then one sentence.

For Example: After realizing his prohecy, Oedipus leaves Corinth with hopes to avoid the prophecy. Ironically, this leads to him murdering his father on his journey to Thebes.
