Orestes kill his mother* 在律法裡講文明，從寬容中說歷史─導讀導讀馬里歐•普佐的《終極教父》-- Dr. T. Sara Sun
「當西方司法史上首任陪審團，在新生代女神雅典娜(Athena)所設的法庭中，對為父弑母的歐瑞斯提茲作不起訴處分時，即象徵著希臘人的正義觀由部族組織的冤冤相報(eye for eye, tooth for tooth)，過渡到社會制度的法庭仲裁。但是有些雅典娜女神的長輩包括她的爸爸天神宙斯(Zeus)，著實不能認同這個「新新神類」悖逆既有傳統的行徑，惱羞成怒之餘，憤而詛咒那些即將盛行法庭仲裁制度的領域。所以西方人因此深信，時至今日人們仍然在公理、正義和天道的三角習題中，找不到個皆大歡喜的結論。」
>> It's quite ironic that Lady Justice (Goddess of Justice) holds a sword and a scale on her hands and got blind by a piece of cloth.
Lady JusticeTopic Two-- Oedipus the King (Play) (Quiz)
>> The play is an example of a classic tragedy, noticeably containing an emphasis on how Oedipus's own faults contribute to the tragic hero's downfall, as opposed to having fate be the sole cause.
a. It's a story of House of Thebes.
* Tiresias is a Thebes prophet who was famous for being transformed into a woman for seven years.
b. Oedipus' real father was King Laius and he got adopted by the King Polybus of Corinth who was the king of the country (Corinth) which is next to Thebes.
c. Jocasta announced if someone can answer Sphinx's riddle (the monster who guarded the country in front of the country gate), she's willing to rule Thebes with the one. Oedipus did it and married Jocasta eventually.
c. Riddle of Sphinx-- Because Oedipus wanted to get into Thebes, he had to answer Sphinx's riddle.
"What is that which in the morning goeth upon four feet; upon two feet in the afternoon; and in the Evening upon three?"
Oedipus and Jocasta* Oedipus at Colonus-- It is one of the three Theban plays of the Athenian tragedian Sophocles. The play describes the end of Oedipus' tragic life. Legends differ as to the site of Oedipus' death; Sophocles set the place at Colonus, a village near Athens and also Sophocles' own birthplace, where the blinded Oedipus has come with his daughters Antigone and Ismene as suppliants of the Erinyes and of Theseus, the king of Athens.
>> Antigone-- Because King Creon forbade anybody to bury Antigone's brother, Isemene, Antigone grabbed a handle of soil and put on Isemene's dead body. After doing that, she was imprisoned in a grave. Meanwhile, Creon's son, Haemon fell in love with Antigone but Creon disagree to release her. Therefore, Haemon ended his life due to his fury.
