The Oedipus Tyrannus, also known as Oedipus Rex, is a Greek tragedy written by Sophocles in 429 BC. The play tells the story of Oedipus, the king of Thebes, who unknowingly fulfills a prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother. When a plague strikes the city, Oedipus sets out to find the murderer of the previous king, not realizing that he is the culprit. As he uncovers the truth about his past, Oedipus is forced to confront the devastating consequences of his actions. The play explores themes of fate, free will, and the limits of human knowledge. It is considered one of the greatest works of ancient Greek literature and has been adapted and reinterpreted in countless ways over the centuries. Sophocles' masterful use of dramatic irony and his powerful portrayal of a tragic hero have made The Oedipus Tyrannus a timeless classic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
