Aristotle considered it to be the model on which all other tragedies should be based. Freud viewed it as the key to unlocking the subconscious. Countless others have agreed with D.H. Lawrence’s assessment that it is “the finest drama of all time.” It is Oedipus Rex, one of the most celebrated—and disputed—works in all of Western literature. For centuries, classicists, psychologists, philosophers and many others have tried to solve the “Riddle of Oedipus,” the age-old puzzle of what Sophocles’s masterpiece means and why it is so singularly mesmerizing. In Searching for Oedipus, Kenneth Glazer offers a fresh and personal way of looking at Oedipus Rex by recounting what Oedipus Rex has meant to him at different points in his life and how, gradually over many years, he came to answer this ancient riddle for himself. Along the way, Searching for Oedipus shows just how deeply Oedipus Rex is embedded in our cultural DNA and how strongly its influence continues to be felt. Both a valuable resource for scholars and a riveting, accessible analysis for the general reader, Searching for Oedipus brings to life a work of art that, even after 2,500 years, still retains the power to shock and inspire.

Literature Review from the year 2015 in the subject Didactics - English - Literature, Works, grade: 94%, University of Hartford, language: English, abstract: Over the centuries, people have believed in the influence of divine or diabolical power in their lives. One of the most often discussed themes of ancient Greek tragedy is fatalism, the idea and belief that human actions are guided by the hand of fate, destiny, the gods or some other supernatural forces. The ancient Greeks recognized the role of fate and for them it represented a terrifying unstoppable force. Fates was the will of the gods, and unopposable reality. In the play Oedipus The King (425 B.C.) by Sophocles (496-406 B.C.), Oedipus is a perfect tragic hero, victim of his fate. As the play starts, the citizens of Thebes beg their king, Oedipus, to lift the plague that threatens to destroy the city. Creon, Oedipus’s brother in law, announces that the oracle instructs them to find the murderer of Laius who was king of Thebes before Oedipus. Only this will end the plague. A blind prophet, Tiresias, accuses Oedipus of killing Laius. Angry, Oedipus orders him to leave. Jocasta, the queen, encourages him to ignore prophecies. However, Oedipus is anxious because just before he came to Thebes he killed a man who looked like Laius at a crossroads. Another worry haunts Oedipus: as a young man, he learned from an oracle that he was fated to kill his father and marry his mother. Then, Oedipus becomes determined to find out the truth of his birth. Finally, a shepherd reveals that Oedipus is the son of Laius and Jocasta. The prophecy has come true; Oedipus is devastated by his fate. Later, he finds that Jocasta killed herself. Oedipus is suffering so much that he blinds himself so he will no longer look upon the misery he has caused. In the play, it is the element of fate that leads ultimately to the tragic downfall of the characters.
