Présentation de l'éditeur

Concerning the details of the myths of theO edipodean cycle, little is popularly known which is as it should be because theS ophoclean accounts which do not require special training for their understanding are most widely read, and by the general reader, further knowledge would be misunderstood if interpreted from a modern standpoint. But for a classical scholar who has followed the adventures ofO edipus through one or more plays there is a natural curiosity aroused as to the events immediately preceding or following the narrative with which he is familiar, and he may be pardoned if this interest leads him into the unearthing of a deal of matter not always pleasant in content, and at times even revolting. It is, then, for those acquainted to some extent with the classics, but without inclination to read in any language butE nglish for the satisfaction of their curiosity, that this account aims to be of service, in that it presents the st noteworthy variations of the myth, together with sional attempts at explanation and elucidation.
