Oedipus at Colonus of Sophocles is a play written by the ancient Greek playwright Sophocles. This particular edition of the play has been studied and analyzed by students of St. Joseph's College. The play tells the story of Oedipus, a man who unknowingly killed his father and married his mother. In this play, Oedipus is an old man who has been exiled from his home city of Thebes. He seeks refuge in the town of Colonus, where he is met with hostility from the locals. However, he eventually gains the favor of the town's king and is allowed to stay. The play explores themes of fate, loyalty, and the consequences of one's actions. The students of St. Joseph's College provide their own insights and analysis of the play, making this edition a valuable resource for anyone studying Sophocles or Greek tragedy in general.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
