The image is a line engraving from around 1900, based on an original painting found on an ancient Greek vase. In this scene, we witness the legendary encounter between Oedipus and the Sphinx. Standing tall against a backdrop of majestic columns, Oedipus engages in a battle of wits with this mythical creature known for her enigmatic questions. The intensity is palpable as both figures lock eyes - one representing human intellect and determination, while the other embodies divine wisdom.
