yeah yeah yeah, however it's spelled.
I DON'T FUCKING KNOW! he was saying that this was another example of the shepherd, the outsider, being all special and awesome. our prof totally smacked him down, saying that wouldn't show up for over 1000 years from when this was written, and that jesus didn't exist yet so he doesn't relate to the play at all, but the guy totally didn't get it.
i doubt it, he's a black transfer student from miami, after all. he's older and has read different stuff than us, so he thinks he's super special and awesome and smart, but really he's the guy that we all agree our conference would be perfect without. he doesn't understand when he is being singled out/admonished by our prof for being a loud mouthed jerk, either.

i'm confused, did we read oedipus rex or tyrannos? the play was called "oedipus the king" and we didn't read "oedipus at colonus" yet, but the lecture on it was called "oedipus tyrannos" and i thought that was what we read cause our prof said he was called "tyrannos" just because he wasn't (or so they thought) king by blood, which made him "tyrannos" even though he wasn't a tyrant.
