Question
One of these figures symbolizes a form of tragedy that deals with a “seething cauldron of the dark world will and psyche.” The town of San Pere is home to a set of characters named after these figures, including a former track star who presents her severed ear to her lover, in The Brother/Sister Plays of Tarell Alvin McCraney. In a 1963 play, a tyrant becomes one of these figures after seemingly killing himself at an ayan tree, prompting his followers to chant, “the king did not hang!” One of these figures inspired the theory of the Fourth Stage. (*) Ulli Beier’s Mbari Club staged a play by Duro Ladipo about one of these figures, who are “not to blame” in a reworking of Oedipus Rex by Ola Rotimi. One of these beings who led their descent to earth appears in the play A Dance of the Forests. For 10 points, what beings include Wole Soyinka’s “muse” Ogun? ■END■
