About This Podcast

Step into the tragic world of Oedipus, a gripping Latin verse tragedy crafted by the renowned Roman playwright Seneca the Younger. This powerful adaptation draws from the timeless Greek legend of Oedipus, whose fate is intertwined with that of his mother, Jocasta. The tale begins with a chilling oracle foretelling that Laius, king of Thebes, will meet his end at the hands of his own son. To prevent this prophecy from coming true, Laius orders his newborn son to be abandoned on the treacherous slopes of Mount Cithaeron. However, a compassionate shepherd rescues the infant and delivers him to the king of Corinth, Polybus. As Oedipus grows, he learns of another oracle predicting he will kill his father and marry his mother, prompting him to flee Corinth in search of safety. His journey leads him to a fateful encounter with an old man, a riddle posed by the Sphinx, and ultimately, to the throne of Thebes and the arms of Jocasta. As pestilence grips Thebes, Oedipus seeks answers from the oracle, burdened by the weight of his kingdoms suffering. Join us as we unravel this haunting tale of destiny, love, and tragedy. - Summary by Alan Mapstone
