In our premiere episode, we dissect Sophocles' masterpiece Oedipus Rex—the ultimate Greek tragedy of prophecy, identity, and devastating irony. Why does a king who solves the Sphinx's riddle fail to see his own truth? We'll explore the play's relentless tension, Freud's controversial legacy, and why this 2,500-year-old story still shocks modern audiences. (Contains spoilers for the myth, but not for your life... probably.)

P.S. If you think your family is complicated, wait until you hear about Oedipus' vacation to Thebes.
