Sophocles Plays: 1: Oedipus the King; Oedipus at Colonnus; Antigone | Sophocles,

2 posts | 3 read

Includes the plays Oedipus the King, Oedipus at Colonus and Antigone, collectively known as the Theban plays. Starting with Oedipus the King and ending with the ultimate sacrifice of Antigone, his daughter the plays follow the trials of a family cursed by the edict of an oracle that "you will kill your father and marry with your mother". From the fourth century BC - when Aristotle took Oedipus the King as his model tragedy, the influence of Sophocles' great plays has been assured. These three great tragedies have a relevance and immediacy as metaphors for some of the most fundamentally held beliefs and values in our culture.This volume contains the Theban plays - widely studied in schools and universities. Translated and with an introduction and notes from Don Taylor - the playwright who directed these plays for BBC TV

Sophocles Plays: 1: Oedipus the King; Oedipus at Colonnus; Antigone | Sophocles,

Ok, so I know why I have 3 copies of Death in Venice--one is the Norton critical edition and the other two include stories (that don't totally overlap). But two identical copies of Sophocles I, both with notes?! I've no idea. #multipleeditions #autumnreads

Sophocles Plays: 1: Oedipus the King; Oedipus at Colonnus; Antigone | Sophocles,

How did I forget about my old pal Sophocles for today's #aprilbookshowers prompt #mythology? The real question is why I held onto this copy since high school! Hilarious to see my teen signature and notes throughout. What I remember most is the production of Oedipus we watched where O was strutting around in a white 70s leisure suit 😂🤣😂
