Publisher Description

The three Theban Plays, or the Oedipus cycle, written by Greek
dramatist Sophocles in the 5th century BCE, are those of his surviving works
which follow the tragic downfall of the mythical king Oedipus of Thebes and his
descendants.


Oedipus the King (also known as Oedipus Rex or Oedipus
Tyrannus
)
Oedipus at Colonus
Antigone

He wrote others, like The Progeny, which are not counted because they were
not preserved.

The plays were written across thirty-six years of Sophocles' career and were
not composed in chronological order, but instead were written in the order
Antigone, Oedipus the King, and Oedipus at Colonus.
