Sophocles, wise one, still the truth we seek,
so we learn, we hope, from Oedipus Rex, a masterpiece that's a complex critique,
among themes: hybris*, hamartia*, and hex;
that weighs the belief Free Will bows to Fate,
and trying to dodge attracts tragedy;
"What's the point?" means we license what we hate,
and leave loved ones at risk, as remedy.
Oh! And who would not? The sane? He's to blame?
If so, then blame a fish it's not a bird;
Or--pride, premeditation's not his shame--
Unjust designs of careless gods occurred.
But, even so, to try--to know--to not--
Destiny would be met, unseen, begot!
Outstanding, Helga! A classical view here, with depth of field. Enjoyed very much. One question (that may reveal my ignorance, if such needs still be): hybris? or hubris?
