That woman is not necessarily assumed in saying the word man is what is wrong with Oedipus' answer to the Sphinx's riddle in "Myth" by Muriel Rukeyser (December 15, 1913 - February 12, 1980).
Specifically, exiled former Theban King Oedipus gropes his way down a road when he recognizes the smell of the Sphinx. He questions her as to why he did not recognize Jocasta as his mother. The Sphinx responds that Oedipus did not have the correct answer when he said man. The conversation shows that Oedipus made mistakes because his thinking was murky and his assumptions were wrong.
