Subject: [tied] Oedipus
We have evidence for a Tawagalawas/Eteokles; we have evidence for a Kádmos
at Thebes. What more evidence, if any, do we have for the existence of a
historical Oedipus?
===============
I have written an article about Kadmos suggesting that this "person" has to
be interpreted as a completely mythical deity,
that fits in the Dumezilian tripartite system.
We'll see if it's reviewed worth the paper it's printed on.
There is no historical evidence at all for this deity.
"he" supposedly lived around -2000 BC and brought the alphabet at that
time....
To say nothing about dragons and sown men...
And Zeus as a bull seducing "his" "sister".
