I forgotten there was a plague in Thebes during Oepidus' reign. The scenes of the parade of bodies to a funeral pyre in the film is very powerful. In Sophocles, the plague is the result, according to the Pythian Priestess at Delphi, of a miasma, a kind religious corruption. — PolitiTweet.org

I re-watched Pasolini's Oedipus Rex this weekend. It was one of Cockburn's favorite films and he often remarked that the greatest shot in cinema was the close up of Jocasta's face (the wonderful Silvana Mangano) the moment she realizes she's being having lusty sex with her son. — PolitiTweet.org

Instead of opening the temples, Oedipus demands that people stop their acts of worship until the cause can be found...The plague, as this interesting study from the CDC, was almost certainly a zoonotic pathogen. https://t.co/9R1ylW5T9N — PolitiTweet.org
