The principal character is the king of a city ravaged by a mysterious plague, who consults Apollo at Delphi and is told that the plague will end only when those who killed the previous king, Laius, are found and punished. He launches an investigation, in the course of which he learns not only thathe is himself the killer, but that Laius was his father and Laius' widow, whom he married, his own mother. As a result of this revelation Oedipus changes from being a respected king and conscientious investigator into a polluted and self-blinded outcast.

A detailed introduction and notes clearly elucidate how the plot is constructed and the meaning this constructionimplies, as well as how Sophocles ably concealed the fact that his characters act in ways which differ from what we expect in real life.

Oedipus the King is the best-known play we have from the pen of Sophocles and was recognized
as a masterpiece in Aristotle's Poetics, which cites the play more often than any other as an
example of how to write tragedy. The principal character is the king of a city ravaged by a
mysterious plague, who consults Apollo at Delphi and is told that the plague will end only when
those who killed the previous king, Laius, are found and punished. He launches an investigation,
in the course of which he learns not only thathe is himself the killer, but that Laius was his father
and Laius' widow, whom he married, his own mother. As a result of this revelation Oedipus
changes from being a respected king and conscientious investigator into a polluted and selfblinded
outcast. This volume presents a highly-polished English verse translation of Sophocles'
powerful play which renders both the beauty of his language and the horror of the events being
dramatized. A detailed introduction and notes clearly elucidate how the plot is constructed and the
meaning this constructionimplies, as well as how Sophocles ably concealed the fact that his
characters act in ways which differ from what we expect in real life. It also addresses influential
misinterpretations, thereby offering an accessible and authoritative introduction to the play that will
be of benefit to a wide rangeof readers.
