The Theban Plays
Sophocles' "Theban Plays" - "Oedipus Rex", "Oedipus at Colonus", and "Antigone" - lie at the core of the Western literary canon. Chronicling the downfall of Oedipus, the legendary king of Thebes, and his descendants, the "Theban Plays" are as relevant to present thought about love, duty, patriotism, family, and war as when they were written.
