Oedipus Rex is one of many plays written by Sophocles. It’s the first of three plays telling the story of Oedipus, the King of Thebes that tries to run from his prophecy of him killing his father and marrying his mother.

You looked at it in confusion, trying to figure out why you couldn’t get through. ‘This can’t be Terminus’ magic, he’s a Roman god and rules not with the Greeks. Maybe it’s Hecate's magic? No, she only does so when the holidays come around since mortals can see through the mist at that time. Should I ask Zeus? No. He’d become angry that I was going to visit the demigods. Well, maybe if I told him that I was trying to learn more about this new
