The Oedipus Tyrannus of Sophocles is a classic Greek tragedy that was first performed in Athens in 429 BC. The play tells the story of Oedipus, the king of Thebes, who unknowingly fulfills a prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother. As the play unfolds, Oedipus becomes increasingly desperate to uncover the truth about his past and the events that have led to his downfall. The 1880 edition of the play, translated by Sir Richard Jebb, includes a detailed introduction that provides historical context and analysis of the play's themes and characters. The translation itself is faithful to the original Greek text, and includes detailed footnotes to help readers understand the nuances of the language and the cultural references. The Oedipus Tyrannus of Sophocles is widely regarded as one of the greatest works of Western literature, and has influenced countless writers and thinkers throughout history.
