In an interesting paper, the authors compare the adolescent process with certain aspects of the Oedipus myth. They view Oedipus's consultation with the oracle and his journey away from his home to his Theban 'successes' in terms of an adolescent's search for identity and self-knowledge. The authors seek to place in psychoanalytic terminology the conflicts and experiences of the Sophoclean version of the myth.
