Classical Literature with Rational Actors

Oedipus

Scene 1: The Oracle at Delphi

Oracle: Your son will grow up to kill his father and have sex with his mother.

Laius: That sounds bad.

Jocasta: Indeed; I’m opposed to that scenario. We should give him to a herdsman and ask the herdsman to set him out on a rock to die of exposure.

Laius: Or we could, you know, kill him ourselves. Just to be sure.

Jocasta: See, this is why you’re the king.

They kill the baby Oedipus

The end.

    I like it. Will there be Scene 2?

  2. Eddy Pusregs Says:

    No need for scene two! The point of rational actors is that they solve their problems in scene one.

    I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s
    both educative and entertaining, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
    The issue is something too few folks are speaking intelligently
    about. I am very happy that I found this during my hunt for something relating to this.
