内容简介

An indispensable guide to the myth of "Oedipus", this book is the first to analyze its long and varied history from ancient times to the modern day, and presented with an authoritative survey that considers "Oedipus" in art and music as well as in literature. Lowell Edmund accepts this variation as the driving force in its longevity and popularity. Refraining from seeking for an original form of the myth, Edmunds relates the changes in content in the myth to changes in meaning, eschewing the notion that one particular version can be set as standard.
