King Oedipus could be envied by many for his good fortune – after
defeating the Sphinx by solving her riddle, he became a respected ruler of
Thebes and established an extensive family. By and large, he was a darling of
the Gods! Yet an abrupt downfall followed. The learned past is always part of
the present, and hence the gifts of Fate can only be assessed retrospectively
… The Ancient Greek playwright Sophocles’ tragedy retells the old fable of
the cruel lot of the man who unknowingly kills his father and marries his own
mother, thus fulfilling the prophecy of the Oracle of Delphi. It is a story of a
king who must install order, even at the price of his self-destruction.
