A 5 page essay that argues that interpretations of Oedipus Rex, particularly Freudian interpretations, overlook the context of Greek culture and values. Since the time of Freud, when he pioneered the field of psychoanalysis, interpretations of the ancient Greek play Oedipus the King by Sophocles have frequently focused on the incestuous aspects of the plot. However, such interpretations inevitably overlook the context in which the ancient Greeks themselves would have viewed the play and what it meant within the context of ancient Greek culture. Looking at the play from a perspective that considers Greek values and cultures offers a different interpretation, which focuses not on the sin of incest, but on the importance of familial bonds. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
