This discovery makes it clear that Œdipus was the heir of non-integrated events, such as deaths which had not been mourned. This heritage alienated him from his true self and obliged him to be rebirth. Despite its tragic consequences, the climax of the drama nevertheless leads to a new birth, the birth of the subject in Œdipus. “Today you will die and be reborn all at the same time” Tiresias warns. In spite of being alienated by the legacy of his ancestors, Œdipus is reborn as a subject and ultimately achieves self-fulfillment when he becomes the hero of Colonus, the guarantor of its prosperity. When associated in a transgenerational viewpoint, the two plays of Sophocles, Œdipus Rex and Œdipus at Colonus, resemble many ancient initiatory stories. Symbolically, Œdipus’ reunion with Mother Earth represented by Jocasta and the honors he wins at Colonus, are the significant stages of a rebirth, comparable to the rites of passage from childhood to adulthood which are found in all civilizations. Instead of reducing Œdipus to his alienations as is usually the case, this essay shows that Sophocles had built his plays on the principles of emancipation from transgenerational alienation, a dimension of the psyche which was well known to the Ancients. Thierry Gaillard combines ancient wisdom and contemporary transgenerational theory in a way that will forever change our view of the Œdipus myth. ».    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   newsletter@ecodition.net ◊ www.ecodition.net If you receive this letter for the first time it is because you have registered (e) to our newsletter or that a friend has done it for you.
