The gods had predicted the fate of Oedipus: he would kill his father and marry his mother. A tragic tale of irony: it is by trying to escape this terrible prediction that the most famous of Sophocle's heroes precipitates his realization... Between knowledge and ignorance, between power and weakness, between light and shadow, OEdipe is the figure of the man who is struggling with his destiny. To whom the oracle of Delphi keeps repeating: "Know yourself", that is, know who you are, and that you are bankrupt and limited.
