"Oedipus and the Sphinx is a highly original, well-composed masterpiece. Writing in crystal-clear prose, Almut-Barbara Renger displays breathtaking erudition in reporting the cornerstones of the Oedipus myth and its reception. She delivers a beautiful contribution to the general theory of myth by unfolding the history of a single 'big myth.' Big myths require new approaches and retellings, and Renger delivers both a general introduction to a core problem of religious studies and comparative literature and a surprising new perspective on an old story."
