Oedipus the King and Oedipus at Colonus (Annotated)

This edition presents Sophocles's two plays, Oedipus the King and Oedipus at Colonus, offering a nuanced view of the same character's complex narrative and moral journey. Translated by Lewis Campbell, the works are accompanied by a critical essay that explores how the plays reflect the playwright's evolving perspective and challenge traditional notions of the Theban trilogy. Unlike the commonly grouped plays, these texts reveal Sophocles's ongoing dialogue with his own ideas, providing a fresh perspective on his masterful storytelling.
