Yes, 'Oedipus Rex' mirrors challenges and problems within our modern societies. Due to armed conflict and socioeconomic poverty, children are abandoned and abused. They may be left on their own at such an early age that they have no knowledge of their identities. Because of the lack of an accurate paper trail, they well may end up unknowingly killing a close relative in self defense, marrying another, and ruining yet another economically.
