libraryofbutterflies 's review for:
Oedipus Rex
by Sophocles
This is the first Ancient Greek play I have ever read so I do not have much to compare it to but I really enjoyed reading it. (I read the Robert Fagles translation which is just so readable and beautiful! Definitely recommend that translation- it read like something that could have been written today.)
I really enjoyed the premise and the theme of the play - can we escape our faith and how much do we actually know about ourselves and the world around us. I can't say that I fully got into the story - mostly because I think the story would have been much more powerful if seen as an actual play (as it was meant to be enjoyed).
