Hmph

I wonder what prought Sophocles to put "Oedipus Rex" to pen. I'd rather he didn't. The entire story had me upset with him for being so ignorant when the facts were in front of him. Pride is nothing to his ignorance. True, pride blinds him, but it is more than that. He doesn't want to believe that he killed his father and married his mother, as I doubt that incest was looked highly upon. The entire story is disgusting.

And I appreciate the part that says "blood splattered from his ruined sockets like hail."

Nice.
