Answer:

b. are ambiguous and could almost be lovers

Explanation:

    Oedipus and the Sphinx (1864) by Gustave Moreau the Greek hero Oedipus confronting the Sphinx outside of Thebes: he must solve his riddle to save his life and those of the besieged Thebes.

In this work one can see a hero who not only answers but also asks, allocating to the sphinx a passive and spectator position, diminished to the supporting shadows in relation to a male hero, protagonist of his history, protagonist of history. Criticism has highlighted the fact that the Ingres Oedipus is a child of eighteenth-century Enlightenment and the French Revolution, with all its aporias and contradictions. On this screen, the Sphinx is neither a problem nor a puzzle, the hero being the highlight.
