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?

By the way,
our predecessors have chosen a soft bourgeois interpretation of oidi-pe:s as
standing for pous "foot". Swollen foot ?
What is the reason to reject a more straightforward post-bourgeois option
of -pe:s standing for *pes "penis" ? Swollen ** ?
Makes more sense !?
What would be your comments ?
Has it been suggested already ?
Arnaud
PS
I suppose you need to be a little bit "French" to propose that,
I'm afraid I won't apologize for that !
