"In his final play, Sophocles returns to the ever-popular character of Oedipus, the blind outcast of Thebes, the ultimate symbol of human reversal, whose fall he had so memorably treated in the 'Oedipus Tyrannus'. In this play, Sophocles brings the aged Oedipus to Athens, where he seeks succour and finds refuge, despite the threatening arrival of his kinsman Creon, who tries to tempt and then force the old man back under Theban control. Oedipus' resistance shows a fierceness in no way dimmed by incapacity, but he also refuses to aid his repentant son, Polyneices, in his coming attack on Thebes, manifesting once more the passion and harshness which mark his character so thoroughly. His mysterious death at the end of the play, witnessed only by Theseus himself, seems the sole fitting end for such an exceptional and problematic figure, transforming Oedipus into one of the 'powerful dead' whose beneficence towards Athens heralds a positive future for the city. This useful companion provides background, context, a synopsis and detailed analysis of the play."--Bloomsbury Publishing In his final play, Sophocles returns to the ever-popular character of Oedipus, the blind outcast of Thebes, the ultimate symbol of human reversal, whose fall he had so memorably treated in the 'Oedipus Tyrannus'.

Précédée d'un essai de Conrad Stein qui révèle et commente les libertés que Sigmund Freud prit avec l'"Oedipe Roi" de Sophocle, la réédition de l'ouvrage de Marie Delcourt permet de retrouver une étude de mythopoétique désormais classique. Plutôt critique à l'encontre des positions psychanalytiques, Marie Delcourt scrute chaque épisode de la légende oedipienne pour en retracer les origines rituelles et l'évolution au long des siècles. Exposition du nouveau-né, joute avec la monstrueuse Sphinx, meurtre du père, union sexuelle avec la mère, autant de thèmes liés à la conquête du pouvoir royal qui, par leur juxtaposition, conférent au mythe d'Oedipe son originalité et sa puissance. Quant à son étrange et permanence fécondité, la fortune de cette nouvelle version que, selon Cl. Lévi-Strauss, l'oeuvre de Sigmund Freud aurait créée, l'atteste avec vigueur en notre vingtième siècle occidental.
