About this book
"Oedipus King of Thebes" by Sophocles is an Athenian tragedy written around 429 BC. When a plague ravages Thebes, King Oedipus vows to find and punish the murderer of the previous king, Laius. As he investigates, the blind prophet Tiresias warns him to abandon his search. But Oedipus persists, unaware that his quest for truth will uncover devastating secrets about his own identity and past—secrets connected to an ancient prophecy about patricide and incest.
