Your Field Guide to Spotting Oedipus
Oedipus does not take visitors. You can try to get a meeting with him, but you'll probably just get turned away at the gate of his humble house in Elysium, the city of the blessed dead. The former King of Thebes totally avoids people, because all anybody ever wants to talk about is how he unknowingly killed his father and slept with his mother. Also, he's not too pretty look at, since he gouged out his own eyes when he found out the truth. If you do get a chance to talk to him, though, try to cheer him up, huh? After all, he didn't know he did any of that stuff, and he did save Thebes from the Sphinx by solving her riddle. Poor guy.
