another symbol left unmentioned was that oedipus gouged out his eyes with his jocasta's (his mother's) brooches. the brooches held up jocastas gown, taking them off would reveal her naked body. Oedipus, who had slept with his mother, uses the same instruments used to unveil his mother's body to him, to incite his own blindness, his own punishment
If I'm not mistaken, the romans had this ideology which suggested that the ones who die can see each other in the after life, even if they were the shadows of what they once were when they were alive. So Oedipus blinded himself so that he would not have to see his mother in the afterlife.
@@alexandrasecarea1380 Oedipus spesifically asks to be exiled, not killed so that he wont go to the afterlife and see his parents. So you are kinda wrong on that one.
One thing I would like to note is that Oedpius in many translations doesn’t kill the sphinx but solve its riddle. As a result, the sphinx dies and kills herself as it collapses.
There were a few short cuts in telling the narrative, but the total amount of content/analysis was amazing! These types of videos would be great for other books!
Well written, It is brilliant to have Oedipus, was seperated from his mother at birth, and those circumstances create a situation that would cause him to unknowingly marry his own mother.
The Sphinx terrorized the people of Thebes for years. She gave the people of Thebes riddles and whoever couldn’t solve it she would devour (eat) them. Oedipus saved the people of Thebes from the Sphinx by solving her riddle, and because she was outsmarted by oedipus she killed herself and therefore oedipus is known as a hero to the people of Thebes. Because their king had recently passed, (killed unknowingly by oedipus), they ask Oedipus to become their new king and marry the queen of Thebes, Jocasta (later we find out, she is also Oedipus mother). So if the Sphinx never existed, oedipus would never have gotten rid of her and become a hero, motivated by the people of Thebes to become their new king.
We didn't even read it, we watched the play with everyone dressed all silly. I have no clue what happened, it's 12:33, and I have a test first hour tomorrow.
i think determinism is a coincidence to free will, lets say that you have a choice between a hot dog, and a hamburger, if you choose one, its not the fact that you picked it, because it was a biased decision, but rather, it was a coincidence you picked it up.... idk, ima p[hilopsher whos seen some things.... i know the scererte to the universe.

Nope. I didn't read in the first place so I'm just here purely out of laziness. But aren't we all??? 😏

There were a few short cuts in telling the narrative, but the total amount of content/analysis was amazing! These types of videos would be great for other books!
why do people say he isint understandable
i can completly undestand him and his explenation is good
I thought you were talking about Oedipus, and for a second, there I was a bit worried...
Actually, the story goes that the Spinx jumped from a cliff in despair after Oedipus solved the riddle.
Wait for real?
@@gavinstewart9152 yeah the Sphinx is used to being the smartest one but oedipus solved his riddle so the Sphinx jumped off a cliff
Yes! I was also confused about that part
@@patriciadiaz3589
Me too, I didn't know why the writer made it like that but anyway xD why not just make it just yet itself from a cliff
This is my favorite channel when it comes to analysis and summary.😘😍

What is the Sphinx role in the story though? Besides giving a riddle
Making Oedipus a hero.
The Sphinx terrorized the people of Thebes for years. She gave the people of Thebes riddles and whoever couldn’t solve it she would devour (eat) them. Oedipus saved the people of Thebes from the Sphinx by solving her riddle, and because she was outsmarted by oedipus she killed herself and therefore oedipus is known as a hero to the people of Thebes. Because their king had recently passed, (killed unknowingly by oedipus), they ask Oedipus to become their new king and marry the queen of Thebes, Jocasta (later we find out, she is also Oedipus mother). So if the Sphinx never existed, oedipus would never have gotten rid of her and become a hero, motivated by the people of Thebes to become their new king.
It was also quite the distraction for the Theban people, leading them to not seek out the king's slayer to bring justice.
i love your lisp
He could have just avoided marriage and having children
😂😂
That's part of the fate vs free will theme though isn't it? Not killing anyone could have helped too
Very nice video, very helpful
Please is this the full story summary?
Tqs sir it's very clear and understanding
why did my school ban this video
Oedipus didn't scape the fate of his parents curse no matter how ~
