From Goodreads
Oedipus Rex
Sophocles
What madness and trauma must have been inside of Sophocles' mind to be able to write this. I mean, anyone who has heard of Freud knows his Oedipus Complex and what it means. But to actually come up with the material that Freud would build with shows the ability to probe into our darkest self. I'm not sure if I had read this since college, but I don't remember being astounded the way I am right now. The force of this tragedy is just so immense and sharp.
