The Oedipus Trilogy is a collection of three plays written by the ancient Greek playwright Sophocles. The plays are titled Oedipus the King, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone. The trilogy tells the story of King Oedipus, a man who unknowingly kills his father and marries his mother, fulfilling a prophecy that was foretold to him as a baby. In Oedipus the King, the first play of the trilogy, Oedipus tries to uncover the truth about his past and the murder of the former king of Thebes. He discovers that he is the murderer and that he has married his own mother. The play explores themes of fate, free will, and the consequences of one's actions.In Oedipus at Colonus, the second play of the trilogy, Oedipus is exiled from Thebes and finds refuge in Colonus. He is pursued by his sons who are fighting for control of the throne. The play explores themes of loyalty, family, and the power of prophecy.In Antigone, the final play of the trilogy, Oedipus' daughter Antigone defies the orders of King Creon and buries her brother, who was considered a traitor. The play explores themes of justice, morality, and the conflict between individual and state law.The Oedipus Trilogy is considered one of the greatest works of ancient Greek literature and has influenced Western literature and drama for centuries. The plays are known for their complex characters, intricate plot, and exploration of the human condition.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.
