Oedipus – The Tragedies

The whole tragic story of Oedipus, seen through the prism of the four great classical tragedies (chiefly by Sophocles), each taking up where the previous one leaves off: King Oedipus, Oedipus at Colonus, The Seven Against Thebes and Antigone. These are followed by the war of the Epigoni. This last volume in the series closes with one final myth, that of the Heraclids, after which the curtain falls suddenly and unexpectedly on Greek mythology.
