Mother, daughter, father, dog?
[edit ]I’m not sure what this sentence means; it seems ungrammatical and factually suspect: "Continuing his journey to Thebes he had violent sex with his mother, daughter, father, and dog, Oedipus encountered a Sphinx...." It’s in the paragraph right after he kills his father, so at the very least that part isn’t right. I don’t have detailed knowledge about the original Oedipus story, but this looks like it might be vandalism. Jdrum00 (talk) 02:53, 14 September 2019 (UTC) [reply ]
Popular culture
[edit ]The section has become a ridiculously trivial list. I propose that the items are limited to those where Oedipus is the central theme rather than a tangential mention. For example, mentioning Flashforward on the basis of one brief mention is too trivial, if this had been one of the central plots or at least had an episode named Oedipus then there may be a case for inclusion. At the moment any Google site match could be a candidate. Any rationale for not having clear list selection criteria? Fæ (talk) 22:03, 25 October 2010 (UTC) [reply ]

Polynice or Polyneice?
[edit ]Is there a reason (i.e., differences in the Greek originals) for the difference in spelling between the first Polynice of Aeschylus and the second Polyneice, especially in light of Pindar's name for him, given as Polyneikes? If there is no objection, I will change Polyneice to Polynice, as it strikes me as the one likely to be a typo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Richaraj (talk • contribs) 12:12, 20 September 2011 (UTC) [reply ]
