Oedipus Trilogy
Sophocles
Sophocles (496-406 BC) - Ranked with Aeschylus and Euripides as one of the
greatest Greek dramatists, he is the most distinguished of the three. His
works remain the finest examples of the art of Greek drama. Comparatively
conservative, he searched for truth in the existing moral order.
Oedipus Trilogy - Comprised of Oedipus the King (~429-~425 BC), Antigone
(~442-~441 BC), and Oedipus at Colonus (~401 BC). Perhaps the most famous
of the Greek tragic dramas, they deal with Oedipus and his family.
