The Oedipus Trilogy is a collection of three plays written by the ancient Greek playwright Sophocles. The plays follow the tragic story of Oedipus, a king who unknowingly kills his father and marries his mother, fulfilling a prophecy that he had tried to avoid. The first play, Oedipus Rex, tells the story of how Oedipus becomes king of Thebes after solving the riddle of the Sphinx. However, his reign is soon plagued by a terrible plague, and he is forced to uncover the truth about his own past in order to save his people. The second play, Oedipus at Colonus, takes place years later, after Oedipus has been exiled from Thebes. He seeks refuge in a sacred grove near Athens, where he is protected by the gods. However, his past catches up with him once again, and he must confront his fate one last time. The final play, Antigone, follows the story of Oedipus' daughter, who defies the orders of her uncle, King Creon, and buries her brother, who had been declared a traitor. The play explores themes of loyalty, justice, and the conflict between individual and state. The Oedipus Trilogy is considered one of the most important works of ancient Greek literature, and has had a significant influence on Western literature and culture. It is a timeless exploration of the human condition, and a powerful reflection on the nature of fate, free will, and the consequences of our actions.Though I don't care for most criticism, I've been looking for a copy of Freud's review of this one and Hamlet.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
