4/5 stars

For a school book, this wasn't half bad. Weird as hell, but at least tolerable.

Jeg vil vædde med, at det er Sofokles som har opfundet thrilleren. Imodsætningen til andre gode tragedier som jeg har læst (altså Romeo og Julie), som gennem stykket efterlader publikum med trøsteløshed og sørgelighed, der bliver værre og værre, så gør Kong Ødipus noget helt andet: Den giver mig så helvedes mange gåsehud, at jeg ikke kunne lægge bogen fra mig på noget tidspunkt. Jeg kunne ikke stoppe mig selv i at hviske 'oh shit, oh shit, oh shiiiit' et par gange gennem forløbet. Rimelig godt klaret af et næsten 2500 år gammelt stykke. Kernen af det menneskelige vil aldrig ændre sig.
