The three theban plays by Sophocles
Book Overview
This volume brings together three powerful plays:
- Oedipus Rex – the tragic story of a king who unknowingly fulfills a terrible prophecy
- Oedipus at Colonus – Oedipus’s final journey toward redemption
- Antigone – a story of courage, law, and moral conflict
Through these plays, Sophocles examines deep human issues such as destiny, justice, pride, and the consequences of one’s actions. The dramatic structure, emotional depth, and philosophical themes make this collection a cornerstone of classical drama.
This book is especially important for BA and MA English students in Nepal, as it is frequently included in literature and drama courses.
