The Three Theban Plays by Sophocles

The Three Theban Plays by Sophocles

Oedipus the King is the most perfectly constructed play ever written: a king investigating a plague, discovering step by step that he is the criminal he is hunting, and that the prophecy he fled from is the one he fulfilled by fleeing.

Oedipus at Colonus, written when Sophocles was nearly ninety, takes the blind old man to a grove outside Athens to die. And Antigone puts a young woman against the state over the right to bury her brother — the argument between divine law and civil law that political philosophy has been having ever since.

Robert Fagles' translation, the standard modern English version, with Bernard Knox's introductions.
