Résumé

In Gustave Moreau’s (1826-1898) oeuvre, Parisian painter associated with the symbolist movement, there is a multiplication of female monsters that will be opposed to male heroes who have been injured, decapitated or broken. In this essay, we will study the painter's interpretation of the theme of Oedipus and the Sphinx. In it, Moreau will produce a visual narrative composed of several paintings in order to communicate what he saw as challenging in this myth, as well as producing a rereading that allows us to understand the amount of cultural and psychological difficulties present in the recovery of the myth in modernity.
