Sophocles, The Oedipus Cycle:

The ancient myth of Oedipus, which still reverberates to this day, provided Sophocles with material for three great trag*dies—Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone—that together recount the downfall of Oedipus, king of Thebes, his d*ath in exile, and the heroic, defiant stand made by his daughter Antigone.
Written for a modern audience, these English translations of Sophocles’ trilogy aim to capture the directness, simplicity, and concentrated richness of Sophocles’ plays in clear, credible English verse that is both readable and actable.
