How do you figure out the riddle with the twins one lies and one tells the truth?
"the answer is the man asks them both what would your bother say" The man in this riddle may only ask one question. The answer is: He must ask one of the twins - it doesn't matter which, "What path would your sister tell me to take?" The lying twin will tell you her truth-telling sister will tell you to take the wrong path, not because she is deceiving, but because it is given that she ALWAYS lies. The truth-telling twin will tell you that her lying sister will tell you ALSO the wrong path. Then, the man knows which path is the wrong path and must take the opposite.

How is the riddle of the Sphinx a metaphor for Oedipus in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That he may have crawled far longer than normal because of his injured feet, that he was successful in youth and middle age, and that he became blind and needed a cane to get around in old age is the way the riddle of the Sphinx is a metaphor for Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the monstrous Sphinx asks what living being moves around on fours in the morning, on twos in the afternoon and on threes in the evening. Oedipus understands morning to mean childhood, afternoon to mean youth and maturity, and evening to mean old age. So he guesses the correct answer of man, but has no realization that the riddle foreshadows, and serves as a metaphor to, his entire life.
