Description
The Theban Plays by Sophocles A powerful trilogy of mankind's struggle against fate, Sophocles' Theban Plays explore the human condition through the stories of King Oedipus, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone. These ancient Greek tragedies reveal the devastating consequences of actions driven by hubris and the conflict between individual conscience and authority. The trilogy is accompanied by an introduction that examines the central themes of the plays, the role of the Chorus, and the traditions and staging of Greek tragedy. This edition features E. F. Watling's masterful translation, providing authoritative texts that have been trusted by readers for over seventy years. Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines, with more than 1,700 titles.
