Reviews
Edmunds is a classical philologist whose wide critical reading in the scholarship of other disciplines pertaining to Oedipus, together with his mastery of the popular analogues, has enabled him to direct corrective criticisms at Freud, Vladimir Propp, Lévi-Strauss, and many an interpreter of Sophocles, always with a disarming modesty and circumspection.
All who study and teach Greek texts touching on Oedipus should look into this book.
