After rereading Oedipus the King it finally dawned on me that there might not be free will. I'm so psyched to continue working my way up the canon. I can't wait to get to Dosto and re-read C&P. It went over my head on the first read, and I thought Ralashnikov was testing law.

have fun reading anon
Now read the Anti-Oedipus to understand how psychology actually works.
Many of the Greek stories had this element. For example, it was prophesied to Priam that his son Paris would cause the destruction of Troy. He was abandoned as a child like Oedipus, but later returned to Troy and... I guess you know the rest. It was a common idea in Greece, a part of their mentality. It's not really the focal point of the play.

Yeah, for some reason it finally clicked while I started on Sophocles though. It could be the supplemental introductions I read, discussing free will.
Wait until you read post Boethian lit and fortune is involved in everything. If you get a chance read the Canterbury Tales and you'll see how interesting the yopic of free will can be.
