One of the greatest of the classic Greek tragedies and a masterpiece of dramatic construction. Catastrophe ensues when King Oedipus discovers he has inadvertently killed his father and married his mother. Masterly use of dramatic irony greatly intensifies impact of agonizing events. Sophocles' finest play, Oedipus Rex ranks as a towering landmark of Western drama. Explanatory footnotes.

Has lasted 1000s of years for a reason...

This was a great book. I never liked reading plays before I read Oedipus Rex. It's a really interesting plot with a really cool (disgusting) ending. Read this book. You won't regret it.

Oedipus Rex

Although it wasn't exactly what I needed(my fault) it was in excellent condition and shipped promtly

Reviewing Oedipus Rex

This was an excellent play, entertaining and easy to read. You understand how Oedipus came to power in the manner in which he did, and what became of his kin. I would recommend it to anyone who has been a bit intimidated by the "old classics." I can hardly wait to see a play about Oedipus Rex!

Interesting Epic

This Epic was referred by my professor. Although some parts of the epic confused me I really enjoyed it. Very interesting.

New

Ordered as new and that is exactly what I received. The text will be used by my son for his ancient literature class. Excellent source.
