This week's episode is part two of the story of Oedipus, the man famous for the things he did to his father and his mother... Part two involves a lot of revelations, and some more inconceivable ignorance and Oedipus' part. Good old Theseus makes an appearance. A general mythology warning: far too many Greek myths involve assaulting women. I'm sorry, that's just the way it is. 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.
