The three Theban plays, Antigone, Oedipus the King and Oedipus at Colonus, stand at the pinnacle of Greek tragedy. Even today they hold audiences transfixed.
Aristotle called "Oedipus The King," the second-written of the three Theban plays written by Sophocles, the masterpiece of the whole of Greek theater. Today, nearly 2,500 years after Sophocles wrote, scholars and audiences still consider it one of the most powerful dramatic works ever made. Freud sure did. The three plays--"Antigone," "Oedipus the King," and "Oedipus at Colonus"--are not strictly a trilogy, but all are based on the Theban myths that were old even in Sophocles' time. This particular edition was rendered by Robert Fagles, perhaps the best translator of the Greek classics into English. .Read The Three Theban Plays (Penguin Classics) complete books online for free.
