"Oedipus, the tragic king of Thebes, is ensnared in one of the most heart-wrenching stories of fate and self-discovery. Unwittingly fulfilling a dire prophecy by killing his father and marrying his mother, his eventual realisation led to his self-imposed exile and blindness as an act of penance. His harrowing journey through suffering and the inevitability of fate continues to be a profound and cautionary tale of human limits and the search for truth."
