Oedipus: King or Tyrant?

In class on Friday we discussed in groups whether we thought Oedipus was a good or bad person, or a good or bad king. We didn’t have time to go over the reasons on each side, but I took pictures so you could see them all. Personally, I think it’s fair to say (especially after reading all of these) that he’s not clearly either just “good” or “bad,” that he is like a normal human being in having good and qualities!

If you click on each image it should open separately and provide you with a better quality picture to help you read the words (the second image, particularly, has some words that are a little hard to read so click on that image for a better version).
