Oedipus Rex by Sophocles

Oedipus Rex by Sophocles

King Oedipus vows to find and punish whoever murdered the previous king in order to lift a plague ravaging Thebes, pursuing the investigation with total, admirable determination — never suspecting that the relentless truth he is chasing will ultimately implicate himself in the most horrifying way imaginable.

Sophocles constructs one of drama's most perfectly engineered tragic structures, where Oedipus's greatest virtue — his refusal to stop seeking truth — becomes the very mechanism of his downfall, and the play's exploration of fate, free will and self-knowledge has shaped Western drama and psychology alike.

One of the foundational works of Western drama, and the origin of the Oedipus complex in psychology.
