Edipus Rex in the Southwest. Interesting idea but awkwardly executed. The script seems to be straining to make it work.

Another Greek tragedy updated to the 1800s. For just a moment, I thought this episode was adapted from a story in the Bible.

Okay, I thought it was just me, but @27:50 forward the wife, whatever her name is (who is 50 years old, remember?) says that she held the turquoise amulet in her hand FORTY years ago. Which would have made her 10 years old at the birth of her son...

Interesting take on Oedipus. This was in Greece.

The gods are real jerks.

I'm in the middle of the story... Doing some calculations here... If Oedipo is (at present time in the story) 20 years younger than his 50-year-old wife, and the murder of her first husband took place 20 years ago, then Oedipo would have been only 10 years old at the time of his father's murder.
