Description: Here we have Tiresias, the blind seer of Greek Antiquity, paying several visits to Sigmund Freud in London in 1938 when Freud was in the last stages of his distressing cancer. Tiresias plays a part in the myth of Oedipus, and in their conversation the meaning of the Oedipus myth, to which Freud had given one particular interpretation, is re-examined.
