Revealing the narrative of Oedipus and the Sphinx to be the very paradigm of a key transition experienced by all of humankind, the author situates myth between the competing claims of science and art in an engagement that has important implications for the debates in literary studies, psychoanalytic theory, cultural history, and aesthetics.
