As Edmunds writes, "Translations, adaptations, and performances still come forth in a never-ending stream. Again and again, playwrights have tried their hand at new shapings of the Sophoclean Oedipuses and often a country's Oedipus forms a whole chapter in the history of its literature." Drawing on more than seventy works that dispersed the Oedipus legend from Greece to Asia, Africa, and the Americas, Edmunds provides a foundation for discussion of the lasting appeal of this legend, for claims of its universality, and for its uses as a vehicle for personal and cultural expression. 606 $aOedipus (Tale)$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01043943 606 $aOedipus (Tale) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aOedipus (Tale) 615 0$aOedipus (Tale) 676 $a398.352 700 $aEdmunds$b Lowell$0206633 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524701603321 996 $aOedipus$91225920 997 $aUNINA
