Oedipus Rex: The Short Short Version
Animation (Cartoon / Traditional), Docs & Non-Fiction (Cultural), Drama & Genre (Action)
[ 1:59 - from YouTube ]
Everyone's heard of Oedipus. But did you ever wonder what the famous Greek myth of Oedipus Rex was really about? Or how it was that Oedipus happened to marry his mother and kill his father? This short-hand version of the play by Sophocles, done in sweet child-like drawings and narrated by a teen, is brilliantly succinct. Hearing the tragic perversity of the play done in such an innocent adolescent way is almost perfect -- and would make Freud smile in his grave.
