THE GUILT OF OEDIPUS

on Third Programme

by Philip VELLACOTT
The story of Oedipus stands out among ancient myths for its dramatic quality. Has it any religious or moral meaning? Did Sophocles think it had? The answer Philip Vellacott proposes may illuminate other problems in the play.
Mr. Vellacott has translated The
Bacchae of Euripides and many other classical tragedies.
