About the Book
This collection presents Sophocles' The Theban Trilogy, a monumental work of Greek drama that has shaped Western literature. The trilogy consists of three iconic plays that tell the story of Oedipus and his family's tragic fall and eventual redemption.
-
Oedipus Rex: Amidst a plague, King Oedipus sets out to avenge a murder in Thebes, only to uncover shocking truths that fulfill a dire prophecy.
-
Oedipus at Colonus: Now blind and exiled, Oedipus seeks peace, but is drawn back into conflict by his sons and the people of Thebes.
-
Antigone: Oedipus's daughter, Antigone, stands up to her uncle, Creon, in a fierce exploration of duty, loyalty, and defiance.
Sophocles’ masterful narrative offers timeless reflections on fate, justice, and familial bonds, making this an essential read for students of classical studies and literature.
