In the ancient tale of Oedipus, a chilling prophecy haunts the land: the murderer of the former King Laius must be brought to justice to lift the curse. Newly crowned King Oedipus, famed for outsmarting the Sphinx, vows to uncover the truth, regardless of the consequences. Thus begins a relentless quest for answers, delving deep into a maze of terror and passion.
Sophocles' Oedipus Rex, penned in the fifth century BC and first staged in 429 BC, remains a cornerstone of Greek tragedy. Centered around Oedipus, who unwittingly fulfills a prophecy by slaying his father and marrying his mother, the play thrusts audiences into Oedipus's desperate quest to rid Thebes of a devastating plague. Unbeknownst to him, he is the very culprit he seeks, and the revelation shatters his world, leading to a tragic climax where he blinds himself and his mother-queen Jocasta takes her own life. This timeless tragedy continues to captivate audiences with its profound exploration of fate, identity, and the human condition.
