As you know Mrs. Lansdown had our 8th grade great books class write a three page report on the plays we read. She gave us several ideas to write about.

The sphinx is horrified that Oedipus solved it because nobody has ever solved it before. So she kills herself. As a reward for solving the riddle, Oedipus marries Jocasta. Later, after a happy marriage and lots of children, tragedy strikes....If you want to draw a full essay, order it on our website: Ordercustompaper.com
