This play was totally boring untill he finds out his wife is his mother and all the killing and the eye gorging out parts. i was forced to read this class. the ending was rather obvious. I am not a fan of greek myths, but of all the greek myths i have been forced to read in my life this one actually made some sense and held my attention for more than 3 pages
