A review by christianholub
Sophocles I: Oedipus The King, Oedipus at Colonus, Antigone by Sophocles
3.0
Read this for a class on tragedy. My professor's interpretation is that the whole thing is a critique of dynastic rule, that the horrible things that happen to Oedipus' family are a representation of the self-destruction inherent in tying the existence of a state in with the rule of a single family. Pretty fascinating.
Also, beware the Sphinx's riddle. It is everywhere in these plays
