| Description |
We know how the Oedipus story ends: he murders his father and unwittingly marries his mother. But where did this shattering tragedy begin? On the Misconception of Oedipus turns its eye to Jocasta and Laius, the parents who birthed a child that would bring about their downfall, and in so doing brought into the world more than a man — they created a myth. |
