Oedipus' self-blinding is the spectacle in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, the term spectacles describes something unusual. The description fits Theban King Oedipus' self-mutilation. Oedipus blinding himself is one of the most unusual events in the play and in fact in entire theater history.
