Oedipus the King According to the myth of Oedipus, what was wrong with Oedipus's answer to the riddle of the Sphinx? Asked by bookragstutor 13 years ago 11/28/2012 8:47 AM Last updated by anonymous 12 years ago 1/8/2013 2:24 PM
He answered 'man' to the riddle, when it should have been mankind (including women). This is to show that Oedipus's thinking was skewed and foggy from the beginning.
