Sigmund Freud, Interpretation of Dreams To me personally, Oedipus is a kind of symbol of the human intelligence, which cannot rest until it has solved all the riddles-even the last riddle, to which the answer is that human happiness is built on an illusion.

He's Oedipus, whose greatness manifests itself in being totally true to itself, without duplicity. Ian Johnstone
