Sophocles I: Oedipus Tyrannus


Listen Later

Join Andrea, Matt, and Brandon as they start their discussion of the Oedipal Cycle with Oedipus Tyrannus, often called Oedipus Rex or Oedipus the King. Of the 3 plays, this plot is the most familiar, even to those who haven't read it. But Sophocles doesn't give it to us straight. through devasting revelation, he produces a tragedy that Aristotle would later hod up as the standard in his Poetics.
