## Description

Oedipus Rex: vii (Thrift Editions) : Young, Sir, Sophocles, Sophocles: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Excellent value - A great budget edition, has everything you need as an interested reader, although perhaps academics and those studying at uni may need more detail. The layout is good and footnotes covered everything is was curious about.
Review: Tragedy at its best - Prophecy and fate feature in key roles, and perhaps a moral of it should be – do not try and cheat your fate for you will fail, and fail disastrously. Oedipus – a man who should have everything including a loving wife, a palace, and a reputation for bravery – attempts to cheat the seers who prophecy he will murder his father and marry his mother. Although the cast is fairly small and the action is over a short time, with reference to past events, it pulls in the reader quickly. One soon begins to feel for Oedipus, although he is somewhat arrogant, and by the end of the play the tragedy is all pervasive. Death, shame, fate and the whim of the gods – just what a reader needs for perhaps one of the most well-known and tragic stories from antiquity, Oedipus Rex is a play of epic proportions.
