Kong Oidipus by Sophocles

hjswinford's review against another edition

Considering I've read it FOUR TIMES in my educational career, I think this might be a bit over-read in schools today. That aside,

Dark
Disturbing
Depressing

Yay Sophocles!

Odd, very odd, and oddly one of my favourite Greek plays

Read for school:
This was not at all what I expected. It was so intense, dramatic, and maybe not its intention, but I found it very funny. It is short and ridiculous and quite easy to read. I find the concept of determinism very interesting. I enjoyed!

Den var veldig morsom fordi Oidipus var så dum, men så ble den litt fæl på slutten.

Hodně to předčilo moje očekávání a navzdory tomu, že jde o antické drama, je to poměrně čtivé a zábavné (přestože znáte příběh nazpaměť). Omezila bych ale sbor, který mě rušil a nudil. A taky... Oidipus byl otravný a hodně natvrdlý. I když jasně, chápu to, něčím to museli zaplést.
