Oedipus, and by extension Jocasta's story is known primarily via Sophocles' Oedipus Tyrannos, but Euripides's Phoenician Women has a much more satisfying story for the queen of Thebes.CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.Sources: Two translations of Euripides' The Phoenician Women, one translated by Elizabeth Wickoff the other by Cecelia Luschnig (Lushnig's is quoted); Natalie Haynes' Pandora's Jar.Attributions and licensing information for music used in the podcast can be found here: mythsbaby.com/sources-attributions.
