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 on 28 Nov 08:47 Last updated by anonymous on 08 Jan 14:24
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.
