Description

One of the greatest and most unfortunate heroes in world drama is Oedipus, the son of the king of Thebes, Laius, and Jocasta. After his birth, the king received a prophecy according to which his son would kill him and marry his mother. Laius gave the baby to a servant to expose him on Mount Cithaeron. A shepherd saved his life and handed him over to the king of Corinth, who raised him as his own child.

However, when Oedipus reached adulthood, he became suspicious and set out to search for his father. On his way, he encountered Laius and, defending himself, killed him, unaware that he was his father. When he arrived in Thebes, he solved the riddle of the Sphinx, saving the city, of which he won the kingdom and married Jocasta, with whom he had four children...

The plague that followed led to the discovery of the cause of the plague, which was none other than the tragic king and hero... from the "pollution".

Already, a cycle of tragedies begins with profound messages that will forever occupy human existence and attract the attention of philosophers, psychoanalysts, and students of the human phenomenon.
