About The Book
Oedipus: The Myth and Its Legacy by Lowell Edmunds offers a comprehensive and authoritative analysis of the Oedipus myth, tracing its transformation and enduring relevance throughout history. This book stands as the first in-depth exploration of the myth’s journey from ancient times to modern-day interpretations across various art forms, including literature, art, and music.
Edmunds embraces the diversity and variation of the Oedipus myth, recognizing these changes as the key to its longevity and widespread influence. Rather than searching for a singular "original" version of the myth, he examines how the evolving content reflects shifts in meaning over time. This approach allows for a nuanced understanding of how the Oedipus story has been adapted and reinterpreted throughout different periods and cultures.
This book is an indispensable resource for students, scholars, and anyone interested in classical literature, mythology, and the ways in which myths evolve and endure across generations. It provides a deep and insightful exploration of one of the most complex and enduring myths in Western tradition.
