Terry Eagleton’s book Tragedy likens this character to the “monster lurking in the center of the symbolic order” in a chapter on a play’s arithmetical subtext. A fragment of a lost satyr play by Aeschylus calls this character a “Watch-dog that presideth over evil days.” In Robert Fagles’s (10[1])translation, a man says he stopped this character “With no help from the birds” as “the flight of [his] own intelligence hit the mark.” A man repeatedly counts to fifty after this character calls herself the “singing bitch” and dons the head of Anubis (-5[1])in Jean Cocteau’s The Infernal Machine. (-5[3])This (-5[1])character (10[1]-5[2])casts herself (-5[1])upon the rocks (-5[1])after (-5[1])being bested by a man who had killed (10[1])a king (10[1])at a (10[1])triple crossroads. (-5[2])For 10 points, (-5[2])name (-5[1])this (-5[1])non-human (10[1])character (10[1]-5[1])who asks what being walks (10[1])upon (10[1])four, (10[1])then two, then three legs (10[1])while (10[1])presenting Oedipus (10[2])with a riddle. ■END■ (10[10])
