Oedipus the King

Posted on 16. Nov, 2007 by dwight in Uncategorized

aka: Oedipus Rex, Oedipus Tyrannus
by Sophocles, Translated by David Greene

I still say, you get a terrible prophesy that you believe, don’t go halfway to avoid the fate:

Your son is going to kill you and marry your wife? Don’t send him away to be killed, kill him.

You are going to kill your dad and marry your mother? Don’t kill people. Don’t marry anyone older than you.

Still it’s a pretty good play.
