IF you Feel
ALL-IN
These days most people work under
pressure, worry more, sleep less. This
strain on body and brain makes physical
fitness easier to lose—harder to regain.
Today’s tense living, lowered resistance,
•verwork, worry—any of these may affect
normal kidney action. When kidneys get
out of order, excess acids and wastes
remain in the system. Then backache,
disturbed rest, that “tired-out” heavy-
headed feeling often follow, That’s the
time to take Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Dodd's
stimulate the kidneys to normal action.
Then you feel better—sleep better—work
better. Ask for Dodd's Kidney Pills at
any drug counter. „ 53

Oedipus Rex
The third play to be presented at
this summer’s Stratford Festival is
Sophocles’s “Oedipus Rex”, Sophocles
lived and wrote in fifth century B.C,
Athens, but like Shakespeare, “he was
not of an age but for all time,” and his
plays are as dramatically effective
now as they were then,
Undoubtedly his plays had a deeper
significance for the ancient Greek
audience, as that audience was famil
iar with the settings, the legends,, and
the religious ideas that were used in
the plays.
Greek plays were based on the old
legends familiar to everyone, and
consequently when people went to the
theatre, they went to see not a play
with a new plot, but a play that told
an old story with perhaps a new in
terpretation.
Our modern parellel to this is the
fact that people like to watch Christ
mas and Easter pageants and plays,
even though they know the stories to
be acted out.
In order to come to a closer under
standing of “Oedipus Rex" we should
know something of the legend behind
it. (Probably we can never' completely
understand it as the Greek playgoers
did because we are hearing it in
translation and because we are un
familiar with the Greek way of think
ing about many things.)
As the legend goes, Oedipus was the
son of the king and queen of Thebes,
Naius and Jocasta. At his birth one
of the oracles of the gods said he
would bring disaster to his house by
killing his father and marrying his
mother. To prevent this Naius ordered
an old shepherd to leave the baby ex
posed on a mountain side to die, with
his feet pierced and chained together.
But the shepherd gave the child to a
fellow-shepherd, a Corinthian, who
later brought him' to his master, the
king of Corinth. The king named the
child Oedipus, which means “swollen
foot”.
Oedipus grew up as a prince in
Corinth, unaware of his real birth.
One day he happened to hear the
dreadful prophecy concerning himself
and in order that it might not come
true he left Corinth hoping never to
see again his supposed parents. On his
travels he met Naius on a public road,
quarrelled with him and killed him,
without realizing Naius was his right
ful father.
Later he came to Thebes where the
Sphinx was terrorizing the population
by killing all who failed to answer her
riddle. The riddle was as follows: "A
being with four feet has two feet and
three ■ feet and only one voice, but its
feet vary, and when it has most it
Is weakest; what is it?’’ Oedipus ans
wered the riddle by saying it was
man who in childhood crawls on all
fours, in manhood stands on two feet,
and in old age supports himself with
a cane.
As a reward to Oedipus, the Theb
ans allowed him to marry Jocasta
(his real mother) and become king.
For a number of years—during which
Jocasta bore Oedipus four children.
Thebes enjoyed happiness and pros
perity. But finally, because of the
murder and incest committed by Oedi
pus, the Gods caused a terrible plague
to come upon the city. The people
turned to Oedipus hoping that he
could ward off complete disaster a
second time.
Sophocles’s “Oedipus Rex” opens
with the citizens of Thebes kneeling
in supplication before Oedipus, beg
ging him to remove the pestilence.
Oedipus learns from the oracle that
there is “an unclean thing’’ in the city
that must be removed. Oedipus does
everything he can to find out who or
what this unclean thing is, and the
play rises in dramatic intensity as it
is steadily revealed that the unclean
thing is Oedipus himself.
In a later column we hope to say
something about the Greek idea
tragedy and about the staging
“Oedipus Rex” at Stratford.
