Everyone knows the story, but it's as depressing as you'd imagine. Good read if you're looking for something philosophical, but not a light one.
A classic tragedy about the inescapability of fate and the will of the gods

Strangely enjoyable? Not much else to say about this. The story of Oedipus is obviously well known, so none of this came as a huge surprise.

I read this for school, but I was surprised at how beautifully written it was, and how effective the irony is. It's impressive how Greek plays stand the test of time.

Vale, lo se, leerse Edipo Rey en 2024 es ser ultra pedante de por si, y además intentar hacer una crítica sobre él en una red social de libros sobrepasa cualquier nivel aceptable. Por eso me voy a limitar a decir que es mucho más ligero ameno y entretenido de lo que podría parecer.
Si te sabes la historia de Edipo Rey y quieres leer la fuente original es una buena lectura, peeeero... si no conoces la historia tienes que leerlo si o si, el manejo del suspense durante toda la trama es tan bueno que te va a sorprender.
Como apunte final, el postfacio de la edición de Penguin Classics está bastante interesante sobre toda para comprender como ha influido está historia tanto en su trama como en su forma de narrarla en la literatura y el cine modernos.

All I have to say is that calling it an "oedipus complex" is really unfair. The man clearly did not do this on purpose
