Book Description
- Dive into the tragic, timeless world of ancient Thebes with Sophocles' The Three Theban Plays.
- Though written years apart and not originally designed as a strict single trilogy, these three masterworks explore the inescapable grip of fate, human pride, moral responsibility, and the clash between individual conscience and state law.
- What's Inside : This volume brings together three essential tragedies: • Oedipus the King (Oedipus Rex): A gripping psychological "whodunit" and political thriller in which King Oedipus desperately hunts the killer of the former king—only to discover the horrifying truth that the prophecy has already come true.
- • Oedipus at Colonus: Set years later, an aged, blind, and exiled Oedipus arrives at Colonus, seeking a final resting place and redemption amidst a struggle for his magical gravesite by his sons and Creon.
- • Antigone: The fierce final chapter following Oedipus’s daughter, Antigone, as she bravely defies King Creon's edict to give her fallen brother Polynices a proper burial, risking her own life for family and divine law.
- Key Features • Essential Classics: Includes the foundational texts of Western drama (frequently assigned in university and high school literature courses).
- • Deep Themes: Explores free will vs.
- destiny, civic duty vs.
- moral obligation, and the limits of human knowledge.
