What Has a Man to Fear Except Himself? – Oedipus Tyrannus, 5th Century – Limited Edition Framed Art Print

Inspired by Sophocles’ Oedipus Tyrannus, this piece centers one of the tragedy’s most piercing questions: ‘What has a man to fear except himself?’ Oedipus’ journey has endured for millennia because it confronts a universal truth — that our most daunting adversaries often lie within. His story is one of courage, consequence, and the relentless pursuit of knowledge, even when the truth demands everything.

This IkonHaus edition distills that mythic power into a modern, minimalist composition, transforming ancient drama into contemporary philosophy. Bold yet restrained, it serves as a reminder of the internal battles that shape us, making it an ideal piece for lovers of literature, introspection, and the timeless wisdom of the Greek stage.

A commanding artwork inspired by Oedipus Tyrannos from ancient Greek tragedy, paired with one of its most hauntingly introspective questions:

“What has a man to fear except himself?”

This piece honors the enduring power of Greek tragedy — a reminder that the greatest battles are internal. Oedipus represents courage, consequence, and the search for truth, and his story has endured for centuries because it speaks to the human journey toward self-knowledge.

Visually dramatic and symbolically rich, this modern minimalist print brings mythic energy into contemporary space. Hand-numbered and framed, it’s ideal for anyone drawn to philosophy, literature, and epic storytelling.
