Description: | The Oedipus complex is a key concept in psychoanalysis. In the legend of Oedipus, the hero encounters a sphinx and has to solve the riddle she puts to him. In Freud's version of the myth, this riddle is where babies come from. This Greek terracotta figure of the Theban sphinx decorates Freud's study in London. It is one of eight representations of the sphinx among his collection of antiquities, most on Greek vases. But there is also a copy of Ingres' painting of Oedipus and the Sphinx in the study and a large print of the Egyptian sphinx at Giza in his front room at Maresfield Gardens | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Freud Museum London | Rights holder: | Freud Museum London | Subjects: | Art and Design Science and Medicine | Temporal: | Late 500-400 BC | Source: | Freud Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
