About This Ebook

This volume includes three of Sophocles’ most renowned tragic works. “Oedipus the King” tells the story of a protagonist who unknowingly commits patricide and incest. “Oedipus at Colonus” portrays the redemption and reconciliation during Oedipus’ exile in his later years. “Antigone” centers on the conflict between familial honor and state law. These plays not only reflect the cultural context of ancient Greek society but also explore humanity’s struggle and contemplation when faced with an irresistible destiny.
