I have done a little bit of research for personal reasons
into Antigone, the play.

I have learned of all of the commentary on 1) anthropological
reasons for burying the dead to heal the land   2) Lone person against the State
3) Many meanings ascribed to a woman opposing a patriarchy..............

Which led me to simply this re CofL49. 
Oedipa is the female form of classic Oedipus...
Which Oedipus had to solve the riddle to heal the land

So too his female counterpart, Oedipa, had to solve the mystery/riddle
in order to heal the patriarchal land which tower was everywhere....
