| Summary: | The mythical narrative centered on Oedipus is well known, and much researches has diversified around the protagonist Oedipus. The aim of this study will be to focus on Iocasta, the female face of this tragedy, who can be analyzed as a tragic character in her own right. This article will examine Iocasta, who gave birth to Oedipus and later becomes his wife, through the ancient texts that transmit the myth of Oedipus. While the study will investigate in detail the content of the mythological narrative, it will also conduct a character analysis to answer how the mother-wife figure was shaped differently in Greek and Roman tragedies. In this regard, the study will turn its attention to how social life affects theater and thus gain the opportunity to see how theater, the most vivid part of ancient life, changed depending on the human factor. Studying the narrative with a focus on women will lead to the goal and enable a new perspective. |
