603. Greek Myths: The Riddle of the Sphinx (Part 2)

Context:

Discussed as Freud's most groundbreaking book, in which the story of Oedipus featured very prominently as Freud used it to articulate his theories about the subconscious and what became the Oedipus complex.

Context:

Described as 'a wonderful book on Oedipus,' cited for its comparison of Antigone's marginal role in earlier myths to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, before Sophocles made her central to his tragedy.

Context:

Referenced in comparison to how Sophocles elevated Antigone from a peripheral figure to the center of his tragedy, much as Stoppard's play made peripheral Hamlet characters the focus.
