The Oedipus Plays of Sophocles: Philosophical Perspectives - Oxford Studies in Philosophy and Lit
Paul Woodruff
Philosophers and classicists examine Sophocles' treatment of Oedipus, the man who did not know himself, in these new essays. They discuss barriers to self-knowledge and an old man's quest for serenity, and explore the question: is it better not to be born at all, or better, once born, to die young rather than live a long life?
