オイディプス王

今日もめいっぱい図書館で調べもの。疲れました・・・。
しかし、その合間に、懐かしいものをネット上で発見！
これは高校のときに Oedipus the King を読んだ際に配られた副教材（？）です。ご承知の通り、原話は惨憺たる悲劇ですが、これはクラス全員で爆笑しました。ほんと懐かしい・・・。これを作った方は天才ですね。

Oedipus the King
By Daniel Nussbaum. Nussbaum has retold the story of Oedipus using 154 of the more than 1 million California personalized licence plates registered with the state's Motor Vehicles Bureau. As reprinted in Harper's Magazine, September 1992.
