Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The play features a dramatic trial where Oedipus confronts his past actions of patricide and incest, guided by the biblical prophet Nathan. Set in Jerusalem's Great Sanhedrin, it contrasts Greek and Judaic perspectives on fate and moral behavior. Sophocles appears as the accuser, while Nathan defends Oedipus, who admits his guilt. The narrative challenges the interpretation of the Oedipus complex, suggesting it misrepresents the deeper significance of Oedipus' story. The work invites reflection on themes of free will and determinism relevant to contemporary discussions.
