Three of the greatest tragedies of the ancient world in one volume: Oedipus the King, in which Oedipus discovers the horrifying truth of his origins; Oedipus at Colonus, in which the blinded exile finds his final resting place; and Antigone, in which Oedipus’s daughter defies Creon’s edict to bury her brother. Together they form a trilogy that has influenced Western drama for two and a half millennia.
Translated into English for this edition, these Greek tragedies remain extraordinary in their structural economy and emotional power. This free EPUB is ready for any device.
