A cornerstone of classical Greek tragedy, presenting the three Theban plays that explore fate, identity, and the consequences of human action.
The Oedipus Trilogy by Sophocles brings together Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone, forming one of the most influential dramatic sequences in Western literature. These plays trace the rise and fall of Oedipus and the continuing fate of his family, examining the tension between destiny and choice, knowledge and blindness, law and moral responsibility.
Widely studied for their dramatic structure, philosophical depth, and psychological insight, the plays have shaped interpretations of tragedy from antiquity to the modern era. Sophocles' treatment of myth combines formal precision with emotional intensity, making the trilogy central to the study of classical literature and theatre.
