Seneca's Oedipus: Solving Ambiguity

Original language description

In this paper, the verb solvere, its forms and linguistic complements as they appear in Seneca&apos;s tragedy Oedipus are examined. The verb reappears throughout the key moments of the play, but it also designates Oedipus&apos; ability to decipher signs, and thus marks him as a solver-hero. Moreover, it creates an intertextual link between Seneca&apos;s text and texts of Ovid and Vergil, especially with their presentation of Daedalus. Oedipus is shown not only as a subject turned into an object, but as a subject who realizes that he becomes also an object, and who is able to reassert his agency.
