Knowing Thyself: The Greek Myth of Oedipus
Manage episode 285735703 series 2882256
How do you come to know yourself? What does this mean and how is this task accomplished? Most importantly, do you really want to know?
The quest for self-knowledge lies at the heart of human experience and it is a quest surrounded by questions. Some of them are addressed in one of most famous Greek myths, the myth of Oedipus, immortalized in a trilogy of plays by Sophocles from the 5th century BCE.
In this podcast I tell the story of Oedipus and reflect on the connection between this story, the contemporary quest for self-knowledge and authenticity, and the patron deity of Greek tragedy and theater, the god Dionysus.
