Classics for a reason. I see these plays as a microcosm of much of western history. We are all Oedipus.

I like Oedipus. In a kind of sick, twisted way, I guess.

Each play was pretty good (especially Antigone) with their own philosophical and memorable lines about life and free will. However, I do feel like it kinda dragged at certain points, even in the name of drama.

I truly admired Antigone's character the most out of everyone. She is ambitious, loyal, and stubborn in the best way. Her sense of duty and loyalty to her family was amazing to see.

My favorite Greek plays so far. I knew these were considered masterpieces, but I didn't expect them to be this good. So much drama and twists and turns. Oedipus the King > Antigone > Oedipus at Colonus.

ادیپوس شهریار [۸ از ۱۰] [درسته که هیچی ترسناک‌تر از ندونستن حقیقت نیست ولی هیچی شوم‌تر از دونستنش نیست.]
ادیپوس در کلنوس [۶ از ۱۰] [پایان کار ادیپ بر خلاف تقدیر شومش خیلی مسیح‌وار بود. :)]
آنتیگنه [۶ از ۱۰] [سرنوشت خشمی که از حماقت آدمای اطراف به خودت بر می‌گرده، چیزی جز مرگ نیست.]
