Discussion topics include: the white rock, the horse begotten by Poseidon, and mother Earth at Colonus; the Sphinx as a nightmarish superhuman force, the inappropriateness of treating Oedipus as a cult hero and savior, and the riddle exemplifying the stages of Oedipus' own life.

Mentioned in this video: "Elle avait pris ce pli" by Victor Hugo.
Recorded in Spring 2020 during v13 of the MOOC The Ancient Greek Hero in 24 Hours, focusing on Hours 18 and 19, and responses to the Discussion Questions.
With Gregory Nagy, Keith DeStone, and members of the HeroesX Team.
