I really liked this play. I thought it was well thought-through, great characters, an interesting plot line, and a great antagonist. we had to read it for school and, to be honest, this is my favorite thing that we have read in school. great read.

I have no idea what this book was about, but it was short. Also Antigone is a badass and that i know for sure.

It's a classic, what can I say? A lot of it has been redone, I can tell, and this is the basis for a lot of those stories. It's good!

A short but sweet Greek play that focuses on motifs surrounding greed, pride, love, and sacrifice. There's some background info that will go over your head if you're completely unfamiliar with Sophocles' Oedipus Rex, but the main story beats are universal. It's easy to get through in 1-2 sittings and remains enjoyable throughout without much to get tripped up by.

The language is really hard and weird to understand but the story is interesting even though the ending is weird but unexpected.

Fascinating translation. Swift. Could probably do it one class period.

Ehhhhh...

Dużo gorsze od „Króla Edypa”.

I was supposed to read this in 9th grade actually but here I am.
