Okay. Raise your hands. Who had to read Oedipus in high school? Who had the name come up in at least one college psychology course? Better yet, who acted out the play at any time in their life? I'm guessing most people are not strangers to the story: Mythological king is destined to kill his father and marry his mother. End. Of. Story. That's the gist of it anyway. There are many different versions out there, depending on which translation you read. ( )
