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

5.0

Wow, are these good tragedies. My favourite was definitely Oedipus the King, just because of the sheer absurdity of the tragedy and it was very Extra (as the Greeks were, obvs), but they were all engaging and thoughtful and interesting. I appreciated the subtle wisdom in the tragedies, the lines that really spoke to me, the heartbreaking ending of Antigone's story (rip). These are classics for a good reason! Even if you have no intention to study these tragedies or analyze them, they're worth a read (or two, or three...). Highly recommended!
