4.9/5 (29769 ratings)

Description:The Theban plays consist of three plays: Antigone, Oedipus the King (also called Oedipus Tyrannos or Oedipus Rex) & Oedipus at Colonus. All concern the fate of Thebes during Greece's Mycenaean prehistory, during & after the reign of King Oedipus. They have often been published under a single cover. Sophocles, however, wrote the three plays for separate festival competitions, possibly over a duration of forty years or more. He also wrote other Theban plays, such as The Progeny, of which only fragments have survived. Not only are the Theban plays not a true trilogy (three plays presented as a continuous narrative) but they are not even an intentional series & contain some inconsistencies between them.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
