A play by this author featuring only male characters was restaged under the title Paradise with an all-female cast by Kae Tempest in 2021. A deus ex machina occurs in that play by this author when a deified Heracles convinces a character with a festering snakebite wound to go back to Troy with Neoptolemus. A play by this author ends with the chorus quoting Solon’s indictment to “count no man happy” until he is dead. This playwright of Philoctetes wrote about a man who is told by the blind seer Tiresias that he caused a plague by killing his predecessor at a crossroad. The title character of the first play in a cycle by this author gouges out his eyes upon finding the hanged body of his wife and mother, Jocasta. For 10 points, name this ancient Greek tragedian of Oedipus Rex. ■END■
