Oedipus at Colonus

Oedipus at Colonus by Sophocles

Blind and exiled, the fallen king Oedipus arrives in the sacred grove of Colonus, seeking refuge in his final days. As his past sins haunt him, he becomes a figure of both reverence and fear, caught between warring factions vying for his mysterious power. In this haunting tragedy of fate and redemption, Sophocles weaves a profound meditation on suffering, divine justice, and the elusive promise of peace. The last of his Theban plays, Oedipus at Colonus is a moving testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
