Ever wondered what the Oedipus Complex was based on? In this episode, we delve into the complicated, incestual relationship between Jocasta and Oedipus, as well as exploring the different kinds of feminists their daughters — Antigone and Ismene — prove to be. With an eye on modern parallels in the form of Arya and Sansa Stark from Game Of Thrones, to the powerful statement that the suicide of Hamlet’s Ophelia made, we examine the long-lasting cultural impact that one of Sophocles’s most enduring plays has had on the world today.
TW: mentions of suicide and incest.
