I'm not sure I've ever heard this part of the Odeipus story. Interesting to contemplate his final days.

It’s not at all well known. Hard to teach - most people avoid it.

So much tension! I'm loving this dive into "the other Oedipus". Thank you very much for writing it

Wow, remarkable, as always, the way you bring this all so clearly to life! I always enjoy your posts and like Linda said, eagerly await the next one! Also l must say, l read stories that in some way are concerned with prophecies or signs differently than l used to - l take those aspects of the story much more seriously and as a meaningful part of it all, and it makes sense to me that these characters would take them seriously, too. Thank you for this!
