The Oedipus Trilogy

Sophocles was the Aaron Spelling of the ancient Greek world-his stories were filled with drama, betrayal, family secrets, and shocking twists worthy of a modern soap opera. Yet centuries of archaic translations have made his unforgettable characters-Oedipus, Antigone, Creon-feel distant and difficult to understand.

This edition brings the fire and tension of these plays back to life in clear, modern English. With side-by-side presentation of the original text and a plain, simple retelling, readers can finally see why these tragedies have remained powerful for more than two thousand years.

Inside you'll find the complete Oedipus Trilogy:

• Oedipus the King - the haunting story of a man fated to uncover the truth about himself.

• Oedipus at Colonus - a moving portrait of redemption and legacy.

• Antigone - one of literature's greatest struggles between conscience and law.

Whether you're a student exploring Greek drama for the first time or a reader rediscovering these timeless works, this edition makes Sophocles' emotional world accessible and engaging without losing its depth or beauty. The tragedies of Thebes come alive again-with all their heartbreak, humanity, and enduring insight-through the BookCaps modern translation series.
