The King Oedipus and Philoctetes of Sophocles is a collection of two plays by the ancient Greek playwright Sophocles. The first play, King Oedipus, tells the story of a king who unwittingly fulfills a prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother. As he tries to uncover the truth about his past, he discovers that he is the cause of a terrible plague that has befallen his city. The second play, Philoctetes, tells the story of a Greek warrior who is abandoned on a deserted island with a painful wound. When the Greeks need his special bow to win the Trojan War, they send Odysseus and Neoptolemus to retrieve him. The play explores themes of betrayal, forgiveness, and the power of fate. Sophocles' writing is known for its intricate plots, complex characters, and timeless themes, making this collection a classic of Western literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
