NEW EPISODE: Echoes of a Dreamer

Greco-Roman Tome 7: The tragedy of Oedipus serves as a stark reminder of the inexorable power of fate. It teaches us that we cannot escape our destiny, no matter how hard we try. Oedipus's story speaks to the human condition, where we often find ourselves at the mercy of forces beyond our control.
