The trilogy includes the plays Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone. The plays follow the tragic story of Oedipus, a man who unknowingly kills his father and marries his mother, fulfilling a prophecy that he would do so. In Oedipus Rex, Oedipus becomes the king of Thebes and sets out to find the murderer of the previous king, only to discover that he himself is the killer. In Oedipus at Colonus, Oedipus is now a blind and exiled old man seeking refuge in a sacred grove, where he is sought after by his two sons and the city of Athens. In Antigone, Oedipus' daughter defies the king's order by burying her brother, leading to a tragic confrontation.The Oedipus Trilogy is a classic work of Greek tragedy, exploring themes of fate, free will, and the consequences of one's actions. Sophocles' writing is known for its poetic language, rich symbolism, and powerful emotional impact. The trilogy continues to be widely studied and performed in modern times, and is considered a masterpiece of ancient Greek drama.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.
