The Three Theban Plays: Antigone / Oedipus the King / Oedipus at Colonus by Sophocles

4.0

Sweet lord, Oedipus at Colonus took forever to read. It's the reason I decided to read the whole set, since it's the one I've never read. I suppose it adds a little depth to all of the characters, if that's even something Greek authors tried to do. Oedipus becomes a really salty old geezer, and Creon really was a jerk, even before Antigone. That play is still the best of the three, but all three plays are much more comprehensible when read as a unit.
