Sophocles' tragedy "Oedipus Rex" is an iconic work of Athenian drama, written around 429 BC. The play takes place in Thebes, a city plagued by a devastating pestilence. King Oedipus, determined to save his people, promises to discover and punish the murderer of the previous king, Laius.
His investigation leads him to the enigmatic blind prophet Tiresias, who ominously advises him to stop the search. Despite the warnings, Oedipus relentlessly pursues the truth, unknowingly heading toward a horrific revelation: his identity and past are inextricably linked to the very crimes he seeks to avenge, fulfilling an ancient prophecy of patricide and incest.
