In episode 2 of _Terror in Resonance_ , Lisa is shown reading a manga that
depicts the events of _Oedipus the King_. Does such a manga actually exist?

A preliminary search in English didn't give anything useful, and it's pretty
likely that this manga might have been invented for the sake of the anime,
tying into the other allusions to the work (which seem to be relevant to the
plot, but since I'm only on the second episode, I can't tell yet).

But since I enjoyed the play, I'd like to ask just in case there _is_ such a
manga, and if my searches just didn't work out.

Does an Oedipus the King manga actually exist?


I don't know if you're asking this question without the knowledge that Oedipus
is originally from a Greek mythology or not. He is a tragic hero and a king in
Thebes and his name translates to the Ancient Greek "Swollen Foot". Here's the
[wiki](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oedipus) for that.

To answer your question: No, I don't think a manga version of Oedipus the King
exists. Although there may be an English comic about it somewhere. The
reference in Zankyou no Terror was most likely for plot rather than an actual
cameo.

As a disclaimer, I haven't finished it either and stopped at episode 9 or 10.
Also, this is my first shot an answering a question here @stack-sites, I hope
I did good :)
