Join us April 27th from 10 a.m. to noon for an in-person seminar on Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex, the most well known of all Greek tragedies. This is the tale of Oedipus, who solves the riddle of the Sphinx and unwittingly kills his father and marries his mother. We’ll attend together to the peculiarities and puzzles of the play.
Recommended book edition: The Greek Plays: Sixteen Plays by Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides (Modern Library Classics). If you purchase the book from Village Books, please tell them it is for the Fairhaven Program seminar, and you will receive a discount. If you can’t get the book, older translations are available freely online. Please complete the assigned reading before the seminar and come prepared with a question about the reading.
The cost of the seminar is ‘pay what you can’, so no one will be turned away for lack of funds. The seminar is open to teenagers and adults and will be held in downtown Fairhaven: 1106 Harris Ave., Suite 307.
