Award–winning poet Robert Bagg presents a dynamic translation of Sophocles's celebrated play of ancient Athens, Oedipus the King. Praised by Aristotle as the pinnacle of Greek drama, Oedipus the King is one of seven surviving dramas by the great Greek playwright, Sophocles. The ancient world's most shocking and memorable tragedy, it is the story of Thebes's resilient hero and his royal family brought to hellish ruin by fate, manipulation of the Olympian gods, and all-too-human weakness.
