Sophocles I by Sophocles
Oedipus the King, Oedipus at Colonus, Antigone
This collection of ancient Greek tragedies delves into the complex interplay of fate, power, and human emotion through the stories of three iconic characters. The narrative explores the tragic downfall of a king who unwittingly fulfills a dire prophecy, the harrowing tale of a daughter defying a tyrant to honor her brother, and the gripping account of a ruler's descent into madness and despair. Each play is a profound meditation on the consequences of human actions, the inevitability of destiny, and the enduring struggle between individual will and divine decree.
