CXVII: The Heroines of Thebes, Jocasta & Antigone (The Phoenician Women Part Two)
Listen now
Description
The life of Jocasta after the tragedy of her marriage to Oedipus continues with more tragedy in the city of Thebes.
CW/TW: death by suicide; and 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: Euripides' The Phoenician Women, two translations used: Elizabeth Wickoff and Cecelia Luschnig (quotes from Luschnig); Pandora's Jar by Natalie Haynes.
