About this listen
In this episode, the Dead Language Ladies take a closer look at Sophocles' most well-known trilogy, centered around the tragic, infamous hero Oedipus, who is destined to kill his father and sleep with his mother. In Part 1 of this episode, we discuss Oedipus Rex, breaking down the most important themes and moments, like the roles that blindness and fate play in both larger and smaller ways, or the act of Oedipus gauging out his eyes with his wife/mother's brooches. Tune in to dissect the perverse but perennial fascination that has so closely clung to this tragedy and the reasons why we still talk about it today.
